| Notes:
The
Lockheed Super Constellation L1049 first
flew in October 1950 and was a
refinement of previous Constellation
designs and was the first true
international prop liner of the
era.
Power was
provided by 4x Wright R3350 compound
radials developing 3250 hp. The "Connie"
was used worldwide by various airlines
until the introduction of the Boeing 707
ushered in the jet age and spelt the end
of the intercontinental prop liners.
