Conflict:
N33644 (MSN 4123) has had a long and illustrious history. A DC-3-197, it was originally ordered by
United Airlines. It was diverted briefly to the USAAF as a C-52C-DO (serial 41-7701) but released
almost immediately to Western Air Lines (who had an inter-line arrangement with United in those days) in 1942.
When sold off by Western in 1958 it was to have gone to Sheikh Al Sabah in Kuwait as G-APKO.
Probably the old bird didn't measure up to his Royal Highness' standards and the deal did not go through.
It was sold instead to Catalina Pacific Airlines. They held it for a year or so and then it went to
Standard Airways. It then had several private owners and is still current, having been restored in
pseudo 1930s Western Air Express livery. I say 'pseudo' since, by the time NC33644 was delivered
the airline was, to my knowledge, known only as Western Air Lines and probably never did carry
the 'Air Express' Indian Head logo. The plane may never have been impressed.
