Editor's note from Ken Pickford: 

CF-AZY, on the left in the photo, is a Lockheed 10A, one of two delivered to Winnipeg-based Canadian Airways in 1936 and later acquired by TCA, possibly at the time of TCA's founding in 1937. Canadian Airways was one of the ten smaller airlines acquired and merged to create Canadian Pacific Air Lines in 1942.
