C-Air  de Havilland D.H.104 Dove 6A  N40P     (c/n  04361)

                                       

                                            Not strictly a "Catalina" airline, C-Air provided services from Long Beach Municipal Airport to
                                            the farming communities of the Imperial Valley in the early 1960s.   It had three or four Doves
                                            one of which is seen here at LGB Airport in 1961.  This Dove was imported in 1952 as N1538V.
                                            The bits and pieces of it remain and it is currently up for sale by Global Aircraft Ltd as a "basket
                                            case" for $15,000.
