As with other Australian National Airways (ANA) plane’s, this plane’s name ended in ‘ana’.

This Douglas Airliner, considered a giant in 1936, could carry 14 passengers. Bungana dwarfed a D.H. Gipsy Moth parked alongside it at the Maylands Aerodrome in 1937.

Bungana flew at 210 miles per hour and inaugurated a new Perth-Adelaide service on a 1.5 day timetable.
