From: "Canadian Pacific Air Lines - Its History and Aircraft" by D.M. Bain:
1942 DC-3A-360 c/n 4665, ex USAAF 41-18540. Acquired by CPAL from C.H. Babb Inc, Glendale, California, April 1946. Sold so Connelly-Dawson Airways, Whitehorse, April 28, 1960.

Remarks by Doug Davidge: "We have little history about it's time in the USAAF while it was over in Burma and Indo-China during WW II. What we have been told is that after about three months flying the "hump" it was "condemed" for reasons not mentioned. It could have sustained some sort of damage from a hard landing or may have been shot up. That was about 1943 so what happened to it between then and 1946 when your picture was taken is not clear. We have tried to find out what the term have not come across anyone who can tell us."
