                                           The DC-2s and DC-3s of Braniff were referred to as 'B-Liners'.  This DC-2, seen flying over a
                                           pre-War Dallas in this Braniff photograph,  had a varied career.  It was originally delivered to TWA
                                           in June of 1934.    It was sold to Braniff three years later when 'The Lindbergh Line' as TWA
                                           dubbed itself in those days, received its DC-3s.  As WW II  got into its stride NC13715 was
                                           impressed into the US Army Air Corps as a C-32A serial number 42-70863.   Upon being
                                           decommisioned it went to Northeast Airlines (why not back to Braniff?), but almost immediately
                                           (within a few days) was on the fleet of American Airlines.  It was last seen at Burbank in 1947
                                           and presumably broken up.
