The Douglas DC-6B first flew on February 10th, 1951. The first scheduled passenger flight was on April 11th, 1951 with United Airlines. The DC-6 had the same wingspan as the DC-4, but similarities ended there. The DC-6 fuselage was longer, stronger and pressurized. The more powerful engines used a 3-bladed propeller capable of reversing pitch for braking. The DC-6B was the most successful of all the DC series of aircraft with the last of the 288 produced being delivered on November 17th, 1958.
