According to the aircraft history summarized on FlightAware, the airplane left the Douglas production line in 1943 intended for airline delivery, but the U.S. government took it over before delivery and placed it in the USAAF as 43-2026. In 1944, it passed to Pan American as NC33370. That postwar transfer was typical of many surplus transport aircraft, and in Pan American service the machine entered the commercial life for which the DC-3 became famous.
By 1948, the aircraft had gone to Robinson Airlines, the carrier that later became Mohawk Airlines, and it flew as N33370 under the name 'Air Chief Cayuga.' In 1958 it was reconfigured and re-registered as N410D and sold on to Hansen Air for charter work.
The airplane’s career ended on 8 March 1964, when N410D, then operated by Hansen Air Activities, crashed on approach to Chicago O’Hare after a charter flight from Pellston, Michigan. The aircraft was written off and sold for parts.
