A more powerful, stretched
and pressurised version of the DC-4, the
DC-6 first flew
in 1946, initially as a military transport designated
XC-112A. Too late
to participate in WW2 the type was developed for
post-war civil
airline use as the DC-6.
175 civil DC-6 examples
were built and as these were replaced in the
late 50's by the
first generation of turbo-prop and turbo-jet airliners
they were sought
after by operators in the lower echelons and
remained in service
for many more years. Numerous examples
continue to serve
as fire bombers in the Western US. 166 examples
were built for
service in the US military as the C-118 and these served
until 1965.
This CD set contains
the manufacturers flight manual for the DC-6 and
