This 12-passenger amphibian was owned by William K. Vanderbilt of New York City. George Vanderbilt had a Douglas Dolphin 12, and Harold Vanderbilt had a Lockheed 14-N. It is in dark blue and silver. I would say it was no coincidence that this was the special color scheme for Navy aircraft of that period used by an Admiral.

Brand new on its way to Japan. The N12B registration looks innocent enough, but it is a dealer's ferry registration. The CAA/FAA allowed and issued one registration for a group of new planes on a ferry flight. In this case all four A-45s in this photo have the registration N12B, and a fifth aircraft with the same reg was also present.

Brand new on its way to Japan. The N12B registration looks innocent enough, but it is a dealer's ferry registration. The CAA/FAA allowed and issued one registration for a group of new planes on a ferry flight. In this case all four A-45s in this photo have the registration N12B, and a fifth aircraft with the same reg was also present.

This very rare photo is the only example that I was ever able to get of the little known dealer's ferry registrations. The CAA/FAA allowed and issued one registration for a group of new planes on a ferry flight. In this case there were five A-45s with the registration N12B, all on their way to Japan on delivery.

One of the few postwar production DC-4s (not a C-54) arriving at Oakland on September 18, 1946 for the inaugural landing of ANA in the U.S. Since landing rights had not yet been granted, the plane merely stopped for fuel, and continued on to Vancouver where passengers disembarked. The passengers were later greeted by the press and given a luncheon at Oakland Airport during their layover in commemoration of the flight.

I photographed this plane, BuNo 0972, here in 1938 at Oakland when it was still in service with the Navy, and again in 2012 at Schellville, CA. I think that is a record for the same photographer and same plane 74 years apart.
