P-BDAJ  Consolidated Commodore                              (c/n  1)

                                  

                                     Another Panair do Brasil photo. The airline had no less than seven of these swan like looking
                                     'boats . P-BDAJ was formerly NYRBA Lines' NC855M, and the first Commodore built.
                                     When Pan Am took over NYRBA in 1930, they briefly based this Commodore in Argentina
                                     where it was registered R-ACWZ and operated under the holding company name of "Tri
                                     Motor Safety Airways".  In 1931 it went to Brazil, initially as P-BDAJ and shortly thereafter
                                     as PP-PAJ.   It appears to have been operated as late as 1941.
