I believe this is NX13365 used by United as a Flying Research Lab. The covered direction finding loop was unusual at this time. Stig

Here's Pathe newsreel footage of NX13365 (c/n 1858) flying over Manhattan, as Stig noted, while operating as United Air Lines' Flying Research Lab. This aircraft also was the last Boeing 247 (Boeing 247-D) built. YouTube: British Pathé - "New American Plane (1938)"

Douglas DC-3B-202 NC17312 c/n 1922 was commandeered from TWA by the USAAF as C-84 42-57157, and delivered July 9, 1942. It was returned to TWA on December 3, 1943 where it again served as NC17312, fleet number '350'. It later flew with Wisconsin Central Airlines from October 27, 1950, with North Central Airlines as 'Land-o-Lakes - 11' from March 1, 1951, then with various other owners/operators. Reportedly its last operator was Central Cargo Inc, of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The aircraft was reported derelict at San Juan, PR. in October 1976, and scrapped by 1980. Also visible is Boeing 247 (247D) NC13339 c/n 1721 of United Airlines.
