Delivered to Eastern Airlines as NC33643 in 1941, this aircraft was pressed into military service as 42-56636. Returned to Eastern after the war, it was purchased by the Brooklyn National League Baseball Club to become the Dodgers team transport in 1953. It's pictured at Hemet-Ryan Airport undergoing a slow restoration to original DST configuration.
