Douglas DC-4, construction number 10317, was delivered to Panagra (Pan American Grace Airways) as N68904 in 1947. The aircraft operated domestic and regional routes along the west coast of South America, connecting cities such as Lima, Santiago, and La Paz. N68904 provided reliable piston-engine service for both passengers and cargo, helping Panagra expand its network throughout Peru, Chile, and neighboring countries. It featured Panagra's classic white and blue livery and pressurized cabin accommodations. The DC-4 remained in service into the 1950s until it was replaced by more modern aircraft. After retirement, N68904 was sold or scrapped, marking the end of its operational career.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed to meet a United Airlines requirement for a long-range passenger airliner, the Douglas DC-4 was first flown on June 7, 1938. The prototype was a very ambitious four-engined, pressurized aircraft that was three times the size of its predecessor, the DC-3-a design that proved far too expensive and difficult for civilian airlines to maintain. Douglas revised the design, but by the time it was complete WWII was well underway and development of the aircraft was channeled to the US military. Post-war, the DC-4 became a popular and reliable airliner with major carriers such as National and Northwest Airlines. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
