The livery on this Loening C-2H Air Yacht and registration (NC9773), suggests that this is actually a Western Air Express (WAE) aircraft.

This Air Ferries Loening C-2C Air Yacht, NC9160 (c/n 229), struck a tug boat and barge in the Oakland Estuary on 2 June 1930. See: www.airhistory.org.uk/gy/reg_N20.html See also: www.historynet.com/people-and-planes-january-98-aviation-... "[P]ilot George McCallum and co-pilot Fred Hammer were taking off from the Oakland Estuary and hit a tug that was towing two barges. The airplane glanced off the cabin of the tug, hit the last barge and hung up. Fortunately, the front of the plane was in the water, which extinguished the fire that started from a broken fuel line. One woman passenger suffered a head injury, but she later recovered. The other five passengers and two crewmen suffered only minor injuries." Additional photos in the SDASM Flickr photostream:
