WWII in Europe had only ended a few months earlier when Overseas Airlines
introduced the first commercial North Atlantic DC-4 service. Another first took place on
March 7, 1946 when American Airlines introduced U.S. DC-4 domestic service
between New York and Los Angeles. During the late 1940s and early 1950s the DC-4
and converted C-54s carried more passengers than any other four-engine transport.
Amazingly many of these aircraft are still operating more than 60 years after they were
first manufactured.

British Eagle International Airlines was an independent that was in operation from
1948 to 1968. It started out as Eagle Aviation and evolved into British Eagle in 1963.
In 1964 the airline took over Starways Airlines and their three DC-4s as well as
various other types. Along with it came the schedule services and tours contracts. Not
long after this British Eagle started to become non-profitable and in 1968 they
liquidated their assets. G-ASPN started out with the USAAF as a C-54A and had
about 12 different owners over its life time. The last registration for the aircraft was 9Q-
CWP owned by Groupe Litho Moboti Aviation (GLM Aviation). In 1991 it was written
off in Kinshasa Zaire after a crash due to engine failure with no fatalities.
