Lockheed Constellation – The SECRET Airliner

And why does it have such a sculpted, intricately-curved fuselage, instead of a simple tube, like all modern airliners? This is the story of the Lockheed Constellation, one of the most graceful airliners ever made, and the story of an era where innovation went hand-in-hand with style.

I was certainly hoping your historic series would eventually turn towards the Connie, and this did not disappoint!. I have always loved this handsome plane and it was the first plane I ever flew in @ 3 years old - TWA Flight #962 - Idlewild to Frankfurt - L749 March 6 1952. My mother was a war bride and my dad scraped up enough money ( $591.20 RT for my mom, half that for me, a LOT of cash in 1952!) to send us back to visit her parents (my grandparents). Even at such a young age, I vaguely have some snippets of memory regarding the flight, mostly interior images and noise! NY to Gander to Shannon to London to Germany - 24 hours. While I have photos of us arriving at Rhein-Main Field, unfortunately there are no recognizable registration numbers, so I can't identify the actual plane. However, for our return flight on June 28 1952 (TWA Flight #963), I am able to name the plane: Another L749 - N6016C - The Star of Minnesota. Apparently all TWA 749's back then were named "Star of . . . " What a plane. Started a lifelong interest in 4 engine prop airliners (and bombers like the -24). Thanks again. Please keep doing these historic episodes - when you have time from your job and providing the other excellent Mentour content
