Photo 3: P-38 with side view mirror - make that an F-5, I just spotted the antenna on the nose.
Photo 4: A plane wreck. :twisted: Baugher lists 45-2972 as contract cancelled.

The more I look, the more I think C-54. Could be 45-0872 (also listed as contract cancelled).

How about this for #4: Douglas R5D-3
USAAF C-54D transferred to Navy.
50879/50888 cancelled.
Most survivors redesignated C-54Q in 1962.
A few became RC-54V. Staff transport variant designated R5D-3Z and then VC-54Q.

50872 (MSN 10558) ex USAAF 42-72453 (MSN 10558, VRE-1) overshot landing at Yontan Field, Okinawa
and caught fire Apr 9, 1945

While #4 doesn't look much like a DC-4, the round Windows are the giveaway.
