DH-4M-1, NC489

Rebuilt by Boeing from a DH-4A. Boeing replaced the plywood covered wood fuselage with a fabric covered welded steel tube airframe.

This particular aircraft appears to be the only one that was given a civil registration initially. Peter Bowers's book identifies this model as "DH-4 Mail".

Aircraft currently on display at Omaka Aviation Heritage Center, New Zealand.
