Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This aircraft was delivered to Pan American World Airways of New York, New York, USA, on April 28, 1956, registered N734PA and named "Clipper Bostonian" it was subsequently renamed "Clipper Seven Seas." In 1959-1960, it was converted to a DC-7CF freighter and was placed in storage at Miami, Florida, USA, in late 1965 and re-registered N7344 in 1965. The aircraft was sold to Liberty Air, Inc. of Monrovia, a leasing company, on February 2, 1965 and later sold to International Aerodyne, Inc. who leased it to Airlift International of Miami, Florida, for short periods of time in 1965, 1966 and 1967. The aircraft was then leased to World American Airlift of Fresno, California, USA, in the second half of 1968 and then by CJS Cargo Services, of Houston, Texas, USA, in 1970. CJS subleased it to Aeronaves del Peru of Lima, Peru. In 1978, the aircraft was sold to Advance Airlines and re-registered N244B.
