Plane impounded in Florida guarded after WWII DC-4 history
Police guarded an impounded wartime DC-4 type plane linked to World War II origins. Built by Douglas, the aircraft served as C-54 and R5D before civilian use as DC-4 with 75 to 90 seats. It lacks an N-number, though a visible military three digit code may read 783 788 or 789. The FAA will cover watch costs.
