Lockheed Constellation

Developed during World War II the Lockheed Constellation 4-prop aircraft was one of the most versatile aircraft ever designed and built.

Originally manufactured for military use the Lockheed Constellation would become one of the premiere commercial aircraft in the Post WWII era.

Known for its sleek design, spacious interior and amenities the Constellation was the perfect all-around aircraft used for military troop and supply transport and luxurious commercial aircraft travel.

In author Wolfgang Borgmann’s and Schiffer Publishing’s Lockheed Constellation small, hardbound book readers learn all about the aircraft in A Legends Of Flight Illustrated History.

Inside detailed black and white and color photos show the aircraft (both interior and exterior) in use as a military aircraft and a civilian commercial plane.

It’s important to note that early commercial air flight was in its infancy.

Passengers were afforded plenty of room, lots of amenities, including full meals, and because air flight on prop planes took longer other comforts were also included.

Flying on a commercial aircraft at that time was considered a special event. People wore their best cloths and received great personal service.

Detailed text outlines the history of the aircraft in all of it versions.

Promotional material from that era is also shown as well various interior layouts and photo of passengers receiving personal and friendly service.

It was a time when the general public was just starting to use commercial aircraft.

The Lockheed Constellation delivered high quality and durability both as a military aircraft and a passenger commercial means of transportation.
