Who knew that brothers Malcolm and Allan Loughead would found such an influential and important aircraft design and manufacturing company? The company’s first aircraft, the Model G, made its first flight in San Francisco on June 15, 1913. Later, in 1926, the company name was changed to Lockheed.
But this book concentrates on another Lockheed legend. The celestial Constellation was a piece of crafted aluminum skillfully put together by loyal assembly line workers in Burbank, California. Her triple tail would become a trademark to her designers, airlines, passengers, and mechanics alike. The gentle and smooth curves of the “Connie” fuselage implied efficiency and speed, something lacking in late-thirties air travel. Lockheed and Howard Hughes aimed to break known perceptions of airliners and produce a defining aircraft that would conquer the distances of continents, oceans, and history. As you will read, it would take time, but they did it.
This data-packed volume is filled with engineering drawings, technical manual excerpts, exploded views, overhaul handbooks, cockpit and interior photos, pilot manual excerpts, factory assembly photographs, and more.
