1939 - the maiden voyage of the beautiful Douglas-DC 4

 

The huge Douglas DC-4, America's greatest land transport, recently made its maiden voyage across the continent to pay a visit to New York. Weighing 65,000 pounds, two and a half times as much as the Douglas DC-3 now in use on most of the nation's major airlines, the DC-4 has a passenger capacity of 42 persons. An idea of its size can be gained by comparing it with the operations building at Floyd Bennett Field, in the background.
