"This aircraft was built as a C-54B-20-DO Skymaster and delivered to
the USAAF as 44-9016 on December 22, 1944. After the war, the aircraft was sold
to Delta Air Lines of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, one of seven DC-4s operated
by Delta, and delivered to the Douglas Santa Monica, California, USA,
plant for conversion to a civilian aircraft on December 13, 1945. This
DC-4 was delivered to Delta on March 2, 1946 registered NC37475 and
entered service on the Chicago, Illinois, USA to Miami, Florida, USA route.
Delta sold this DC-4 to Pacific Northern Airlines of Portland,
Oregon, USA, on February 27, 1953 and it was used on services in the
Territory of Alaska, USA. The aircraft was subsequently sold to Overseas
National Airways of New York, New York, USA, and re-registered N410NA and
named "Loma D." In June 1959, this aircraft was sold to the
Witwatersand Native Labour Association of Rhodesia and registered
