Auto Credit Based on sanchito's Douglas DC-4 Buffalo Airways
The Douglas DC-4 was a pivotal four-engine airliner {2, 7} that United Airlines used extensively in the post-World War II era, becoming a workhorse for transcontinental routes, offering reliable, longer-range travel with its advanced design for its time, though early experimental models like the DC-4E proved complex before the simplified, mass-produced military C-54 version became the basis for the civilian DC-4s {1, 4}.
