Meteor Air Transport was formed in Teterboro, New Jersey in 1946 and operated low-fare flights to Detroit. Detail of picture which also shows C-47A NC57131 of Nationwide Airlines, which helps to date the photo a bit more precisely. NC54337 is ex 43-15670, and it crashed near DET on 19 November 1949. Later repaired by the insurers, it became PP-AOD, PP-AKD, FAB 2072 and PT-KVB. CofA expired Sep 1984. The big airlines left DET for YIP in 1946-1947 but Meteor evidently still used DET at the time of the crash. Photo from: Wayne State University
