Silly me!
That is very cool.

I do have a fairly nice book on the Constellations here.

Never got to fly in one nor (to date) even set foot in one; but there was a (fairly brief) time that they set the standard for luxury air travel.

Plus, there's that cool Sinatra album cover (just to be sort of, almost on-topic for AA); we have an origianl "promo" copy of same in the collection here, from my father's broadcast radio days.

(just a borrowed copy of the album cover art, though)
all the best,
mrh

There were several times I was on Connies flying home on leave. Amazing what the stewardess would let you get away with when they saw the aircrew wings, swapped out a few pair with the stews. Got "extra" libations access to cockpit on a couple of occasions, now they would shoot you when you get close to it. Understandable, world has certainly changed in fifty years

  last about 5 weeks. We flew from Washington DC to Gander, to Ireland, to the Azores and finally arrived at Ben Guerir Morocco. All those stops were for fuel.
