Yup, Doug 3s! First and fourth are American "Flagship Skysleepers" (note the obligatory flags flying outside and above the co-pilot's windows. Co-pilot was responsible for placing the flags after landing roll-out, and retrieval before take-off roll. Second DC-3 belongs to TWA...note circular logo on nose. Looks like 1940-ish Burbank, as you'll also note several aircraft in the distance that appear to be Lockheed Model 18 Lodestars, manufactured at Lockheed headquarters in Burbank. DD
