The first prototype of the Douglas DC-6 flew for the first time on February 15, 1946. The first DC-6s entered service with American Airlines in April, 1947, on the New York-Chicago route. DC-6s had seating capacity of 48 to 52 in standard layout, or 86 passengers in a high-density configuration. A total of 704 aircraft were built between the civilian DC-6 version and the military C-118 version, including one built for President Truman with a VIP interior and named "The Independence". Because of their excellent reliability, when DC-6s were retired by major users, they were eagerly sought by operators in the lower echelons of air transport. The DC-6B had a cruising speed of 315 mph, service ceiling of 25,000 feet, range with maximum payload of 3,005 miles, and range with maximum fuel of 4,720 miles. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
