All right you experts....

Does anyone know of a resource to run down the ownership histories of a couple DC-4M Northstars purchased from CADC by Trans Florida Aviation circa 1967. There are seven airframes in all; CF-UXA is one of the aircraft...unknown what the other registrations are as I'm sitting at my desk at work. I think I have some of the other IDs and owner names in my e-mail at home.

Following TFA's ownership, the airplanes were either sold to or operated by Air Caicos down in Florida.

Again, looking for basic ownership histories and IDs on these aircraft if possible.
