Stratocruiser |
|
Boeing's resources were devoted to
building military planes during World War II. Once it was
over, the company re-entered the commercial market with a new long-range
airliner, the Stratocuiser (Model 377). It was based on the B-29 bomber.
It set a new standard for luxurious air travel with its tastefully
decorated extra-wide passenger cabin and gold-appointed dressing rooms.
A circular staircase led to a lower-deck beverage lounge, and flight
attendants prepared hot meals for 50 to 100 people in a state-of-the-art
galley. A sleeper version was equipped with 28 upper-and-lower bunk
units. The long range made them especially suited for long range
flights, such as across the Atlantic. Boeing built 56
Stratocruisers but they were soon made obsolete by the new jet airliner,
the Boeing 707. |
