Delivered to Northwest Airlines as N6404 in 1946. Sold in 1961. Reregistered as EL-ADR in 1962, CF-TAW in 1965 and N31356 in 1976. To Central Air Services in 1982 and converted to a firebomber. Flown to Avra Valley in 1992, firebombing tank removed and painted in USAF colours as 42914. To Aces High in 2002 and flown to North Weald in 2002 for filming which did not happen. Scrapped in 2015. Nose section preserved at RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre.

Operated by Central Air Service. Later with Aces High (for film work) and then stored at North Weald (England).

Delivered new in 04.46 to Northwest Airlines as N6404 serving until sold in 04.61. Converted to tanker. N31356 from 02.71.

Scrapped in the UK. Nose section preserved. Curiously, despite being a postwar civil DC-4, N31356 has masqueraded as a USAF C-54, in film and as a static display, since its air tanker days ended. The preservation of its nose section at Burtonwood is as a tribute to C-54's role in the Berlin Airlift.
