The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was the commercial version of the C-97 Stratofreighter. The two-
level 377 was pressurized and could accommodate 50 to 100 passengers. On long flights the
aircraft could accommodate 28 upper and lower bunk units. This led to the aircraft being referred
to as the “Flying Hotel”. The 377 was larger and could fly further than the Constellation or the DC-
6 but the engines and complexity of the aircraft proved to be too costly to operate bringing
production to an end in 1950.

Boeing B377 Stratocruiser c/n 15965 made its first flight on July 8, 1949 and was the first B377
for United Airlines. It was delivered on September 28, 1949 and registered as N31225 “Mainliner
Hawaii”. In September 1954 United decided to sell all its B377’s to BOAC and in December
N31225 was sold and registered as G-ANTX “RMA Cleopatra”. In 1959 it was sold to Ghana
Airways titles then sold to Transocean and after a couple of other owners eventually ended up
being scrapped in 1964.
