First introduced by Eastern and United pre-WWII in 1939, the DC-4 faced complications and inefficiency issues, leading to requests for a simpler, smaller alternative aircraft. The US entry into WWII redirected production towards military use, resulting in 1100 C-54s and R5Ds being produced. Post-war, 79 DC-4s were manufactured for airlines while many C-54s and R5Ds returned to commercial use. Capable of carrying 40-80 passengers, these aircraft had a cruising speed of 227 mph, a range of 4250 miles, and a service ceiling of 22300 feet; as of 2014, some DC-4s remain in operation.
