Douglas DC-6

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Douglas DC-6 is a radial piston-powered propliner, and later civil cargo aircraft, built by Douglas Aircraft Company. It was initially meant to serve in a military transport and cargo role as the Douglas C-118 Liftmaster toward the end of World War II, but once the war ended it was subsequently re-engineered to fill a civilian cargo role in commercial passenger transportation.

Summary

“ The DC-6B was the epitome of the radial piston engine passenger aircraft. Powerful, noisy and smoky on engine start-up, the DC-6B was flown all over the world and opened up air travel on every continent. Originally designed in 1944 as the XC-112 military transport aircraft, the DC-6B was reworked into a civilian aircraft in order to compete with Lockheed’s Constellation. The aircraft was a true success story, with some of the 700 aircraft that were built still in service today, predominantly in cargo roles.

The DC-6B was also used heavily by the United States Air Force and Navy, known as the C-118B or VC-118 in military service, even serving as Air Force One. 		”
