DC3 including a DC2.5 in the early days.
DC4 (one shot down near Hainan and replaced)
DC6 & 6B (one of each)
L188 Electra (two)

First pure jet was the Convair 880. One ended up in HK Harbour after losing nose gear tread and control on takeoff. One blown up over South Vietnam by a Thai Airport security guard to claim insurance on his de-facto wife and daughter. First A/C came from the factory while the rest came from various places including CAT of Taiwanm, Viasa of Venezuela and JAL. Think there was about 8 in total including the two that were lost.

707's all from Northwest. About a dozen in total.
