The story behind the livery
All Nippon Airways was founded in 1952 from the merger of two small Japanese carriers, and by 1960 was still a young, domestically-focused airline finding its place in postwar Japan's rapidly modernizing society. Flying the Convair CV-440 on routes connecting Japan's major cities, ANA at this time bore little resemblance to the global carrier it would become — making this early livery a fascinating and rarely documented chapter in Japanese aviation history. The 1965 scheme is virtually impossible to find in decal form anywhere else, making it a genuine rarity for collectors of Asian airline heritage.
This decal set faithfully reproduces the complete 1965 ANA livery for the Convair CV-440: fuselage titles, early ANA markings, registration numbers, and full window lines — all researched from historical photographic references.
