Giant U.S. Plane In Maiden Flight

The air transport of tomorrow becomes the reality of today. The Constellation, America's newest land based cargo plane is ready for her first flight.

Beneath her wings, a P38 fighter plane looks like a toy miniature. Built to fly at thirty-five thousand feet in the stratosphere the big ship is said to be faster than a Jap Zero fighter plane.

Four powerful engines lift the sky giant aloft, a plane that can cross the American continent or the Atlantic Ocean in eight hours with a full load, forerunner of a mighty fleet.
