Here's British Pathe footage of this aircraft, ANA's Douglas DC-2 "Bungana" (VH-USY; c/n 1580), featured in a newsreel about its safe emergency landing near Dimboola, Victoria on February 8, 1940, after it struck an eagle which in turn caused its port engine to catch fire and fall off while in flight.

Here is a photo (Signal Corps Photo SC 166664) of VH-USY taken by the US Army Signal Corps at Port Moresby, New Guinea, on December 15, 1942, when the aircraft was used to transport wounded soldiers.
