In 1939, American, Eastern, Pan American and United airlines backed Douglas to build a larger four-engined airliner to follow the DC-3. Douglas produced the DC-4, but the Second World War broke out just as production began. Every aircraft was requisitioned for the US military as the C-54 Skymaster, and more than 1,000 were built during the war. Afterwards, surplus C-54s were converted for airline use. American Airlines acquired 52 of them and flew them alongside its ageing DC-3 fleet. This Minicraft kit shows Flagship Monterrey, NC90417, in American’s polished natural metal livery with the orange cheatline and eagle logo.
