Douglas DC-4 - Production
The DC-4 had a notable innovation in that its nose-wheel landing gear allowed it to introduce a fuselage of constant cross-section. This lent itself to easy stretching into the later DC-6 and DC-7. 1,163 DC-4s were built for the United States military services between 1942 and 1946. Douglas continued to develop the type during the war in preparation for a return to airline services when peace returned. However, the type's sales prospects were hit by the offloading of 500 wartime C-54s and R5Ds onto the civil market.
Douglas built just 74 new-build aircraft before production ceased on August 9, 1947. Pressurization was available as an option, but all civilian DC-4s were built unpressurised.
