Bellanca, 31-42 Sr Pacemaker NC11642 sn 252

Ellis Airline's Bellanca Sr. Pacemaker near Ketchikan in the 1940's.

Ellis flew it until the mid 1940’s and it was sent back to the Bellanca factory to have flaps installed and on the flight back it ran into high tension wires on take-off and that was the end of the Bellanca.
