Launched pre-WWII in 1939 by Eastern and United Airlines, the DC-4 faced maintenance issues and efficiency drawbacks, leading to requests for a simpler alternative. However, WWII's outbreak redirected production towards military C-54s and R5Ds, with 1100 units produced. Post-war, 79 DC-4s were manufactured for airlines, while many military aircraft returned to commercial use. Passenger capacity ranged from 40 to 80, cruising at 227 mph, boasting a range of 4250 miles and a service ceiling of 22,300 feet. DC-4s remain in operation as of 2014.
