18-56 Lodestar
(c/n 2102)
ZK-ANA was another

in Australia, this one as
VH-ARZ. Union Airways purchased it in 1946, and named it
"Kawatere".
It was sold to the K. Babb Company, an
aircraft broker in Burbank, in 1951 as N4632V, and as
late as the turn of the millennium was
still on the U.S. Civil register as N796G. A complete history
