First introduced by Eastern and United in 1939, the DC-4 faced maintenance complexities and efficiency issues, leading to the request for a simpler, smaller aircraft. However, WWII's Pearl Harbor attack shifted production to military use, resulting in 1100 C-54s and R5Ds. Post-war, 79 DC-4s were produced for airlines, while many military planes returned to commercial service. Passenger capacity ranged from 40-80, cruising at 227 mph with a range of 4250 miles and a service ceiling of 22300 feet; some DC-4s still operate today.
