Photo Comment

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.
