This is quite clearly NC18103 which was delivered to United in July 1937 as a DST. I got nothing on that aircraft until it went to USAAF in 1942. I believe United called themselves the Mainliner at the time which would fit what we see on the fuselage. From where comes TWA and for that matter Consolidated? Stig

The fleet number "74" denotes this as United Air Lines' ill-fated Douglas DC-3 (DC-3A-197), registered NC16074 (c/n 1914). NC16074 was in service for a very short time after its delivery to United Airlines on December 1, 1936. The airliner would crash on October 17, 1937, with the loss of all 19 souls (3 crew/16 passengers) aboard, when it flew into the slope of Haydens Peak, WY on Humpy Ridge at an elevation of approximately 10,000-feet.
