This Dolphin carried a msn of 1280 and was built for William Boeing in 1934 (after Boeing left Boeing)as NC14205. It was obtained by the Civil Aeronautics Administration in 1942 and assigned to the Alaska Region for logistical support and based at Anchorage as NC26. It looks like the CAA got rid of it in the late 1940s-early 1950s. The Alaska Avaiton Museum at Anchorage has a nice photo of the airplane in CAA colors in 1946.
