Trans World Airlines
Trans World Airlines (TWA) was a prominent American airline that operated domestic and international services—founded on October 1, 1930, as Transcontinental & Western Air with the merger of Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT), Western Air Express (WAE), Maddux Air Lines, Standard, and Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation (PAIC). In April 2001, American Airlines acquired the airline’s assets after many years of financial woes.
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.
