Fate is the Hunter... DC-6 ?
Fate is the Hunter is arguably Gann's best effort for factual detail (an autobiogrphy after all) compared to e.g. The High and the Mighty novel.
However I don't recall a DC-6 being mentioned anywhere - it is manily all about experiences in DC-2s( with stiff legs) , DC-3s (which couldn't carry a tumber's worth of ice), DC-4s (and 'porting' and lucky escapes) and Liberators ( charging bulls for demolishing the Taj Mahal) with a brief mention of the mighty C46 for flying over the 'hump'. Oh and of course must not forget to mention Gann's biggest embarrassment that dejected pelican of an Aeronca C3 that was secretly planning to kill him!
I must read it again.
