Vintage Airplane Oil Painting
The Douglas DC-4 was a four engine propellor driven airplane that was built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. This plane was proud to serve during World War II in the Berlin Airlift and well into the 1960’s as a military plane. However, from 1945 it also operated world wide with many civilian airlines. The DC-4 proved to be complicated to maintain and inefficient to operate. Requests from United Air and Eastern Air Lines forced Douglas Aircraft to build a smaller and simpler replacement plane. But it did continue to operate for military service. Only two passenger DC-4’s remain in service today. They are based in Johannesburg, South Africa and fly with South African Airways. There is also one that is being restored to it’s original glory in South Wales, Australia. You may have missed your chance to fly on one of these planes but you can always hang this vintage airplane oil painting in your home. Let it make you feel like every day is leaving for vacation. Prepare for take off.
