Unidentified Aircraft
Lockheed 18 Lodestar
At Fairbanks Weeks Field.
Registration NC33664, c/n 18-2079. Delivered new to PAA-Pan American Airways System in February 1941. According to the company history, in 1947 it should be already in colour of Pan American World Airways. Maybe older footage? or non repainted airplane after WWII... or the date of the film is not correct (unfortunately hidden in the screen title).
