CF-CUJ
Douglas DC-4
(c/n 27261)
In the early 1950s, Canadian Pacific found
themselves in a bit of a capacity crunch and to
alleviate this a small fleet of DC-4s was acquired. This
particular machine is unique in that
it was the first post war C-54 to be converted by
Douglas at Santa Monica into full civilian
standard. A C-54E-1-DO, it was delivered to the USAAF as 43-9035
in February, 1945.
It went to Pan
American as N88882 and was
later named "Cllipper Malay" although at the
time it left the Douglas plant it
merely was inscribed "Pan American Clipper". It went to
Maritime Central Airways after its service with CPAL, becoming
CF-MCI. By 1963 it was
flying with Eastern
Provincial Airways and finally went to Nordair in 1965. It was
withdrawn
from use in 1968.
