Douglas DC-4
The Douglas Aircraft Company DC-4 is an American four-engine airliner. It first flew in February 1942, but with the outbreak of World War II, all production went to the US Military. Entering airline service post-war, it was popular and reliable.
Designated C-54 Skymaster with the USAAF and R5D with the US Navy remained in military service into the 1960s. The North Star, a Canadian development based on the DC-4, designed in the 1940s, used Rolls-Royce Merlin engines. The Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair was a Douglas DC-4-based air ferry that could carry 25 passengers and five cars. Production of the DC-4 ended in 1947 with 1245 airframes built.
The flight crew typically consists of six: two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator, and two relief crew. The passenger cabin seats up to 86 or 9,980 kg (22,002 lb) of cargo.
The DC-4 uses four Pratt & Whitney R-2000 Twin Wasp 14-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engines, mounted two per wing, driving three-bladed Hamilton-Standard Hydromatic, constant-speed propellers.
