                                                    When ANA purchased two Douglas DC-6s from National Airlines of Miami in 1953, they were
                                                    so taken with the livery that National was using that they adopted it as their own, with a few subtle
                                                    changes.  Compare this to the shot of the National DC-6 in my Airlines section (under the US Civil
                                                    collection).   This aircraft was the former N90892.   It was sold to Transit Equipment Company in
                                                    the US in 1960 as N74841, and written off in a landing at Oakland, California in 1967, whilst owned
                                                    by non scheduled carrier Saturn Airways..
