CHINESE TRANSPORT:
File photo shows Heinkel He-111A-0 (XT-ATC) served as a VIP/Transport aircraft owned by CATC Central Air Transport Co. that was a Chinese Cargo/Airline and not to be confused with CNAC
Chinese National Airways Corp.
Check out the two-blade propellers, engines were replaced from a DC-2 those
were Curtiss/Wright 800hp
Aircraft carries the Zhong Insignia, signified aircraft was a CATC transport and not an CNAC aircraft, tail number is Chung 2 meaning 2nd CATC Aircraft.
