CONSTITUTION
The Lockheed Constitution
was designed during the
last years of WW2 for the US Navy and Pan American
Airways as a long range transport.
Two Constitutions were
built and the initial example
first flew in 1946. However development of the large
turboprop engine intended for the aircraft was
discontinued, and the aircraft proved underpowered
using the R-4360 engines that were installed in the
two aircraft.
The aircraft went into
service in 1950 with the US Navy
on the California-Honolulu route but were declared
surplus in 1953 due to the high costs of operation.
They were offered on
the civil market but attracted
no takers and both aircraft were eventually scrapped.
This CD contains a copy
of the very rare flight manual for
the Constitution.
