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.

Delta Airlines received their first Douglas DC-4 on February 12, 1946 with the first
scheduled DC-4 service on March 6, 1946. The DC-4 was the first non-tail dragger for
the airline. These DC-4s were former military C-54s converted to passenger
requirements. The 12th conversion was former C-54B-1-DC (42-72339) and went to
Delta as NC37472. In all Delta operated 8 modified C-54Bs. On November 1, 1946
Delta Airlines began a non-stop scheduled flight from Chicago to Miami. This forced
Eastern Airlines to purchase the pressurized Lockheed Constellation providing
smoother flights. In 1948 Delta started using pressurized DC-6s to counter the Eastern
Constellations. Delta retired the last DC-4 on June 15, 1953.
