Lockheed XR6O-1 / R6V-1 Constitution

In 1942, the U.S. Navy called for a large transport aircraft to improve upon the navy's fleet of flying boats. In the meantime, Lockheed and PanAm began a Model 189 airliner study as a greater / double-decker version of the 049 Constellation. A year later in 1943, the Navy involved the development and ordered two prototypes. It was given designation XR6O-1 Constitution. Since the XR6O-1 was a low-priority project, the first prototype was completed after the war ended in 1945. The first flight took place in late 1946. It was found to be significantly underpowered. In 1949, the second R6O was commissioned into service at the logistics support squadron VR-44. Soon joined by the first R6O, the two R6Os reassigned to VR-5 for personnel and material transport, and were re-designated R6V-1.

Sud-Est SE.161 Languedoc - Mothership of Leduc 021 ramjet aircrafts

In 1949, the French military issued requirement for a utility transport that used to accomplish the long-range troop and equipment transport role. Due to the budgetary difficulties, the French military asked the industry-financed "off-the-shelf" civilian aircraft. In the meantime, some Sub-Est SE.161 Languedoc airliners were planned to remove from service by Air France. Ten Languedoc were sell off to the French military. All were converted with a large ventral gondola, observation windows and a ventral search radar for search and rescue operations. In 1951, the French Air Force bought newly built Languedoc as transport aircraft from the end of the production line. In 1952, the Air Force launched an emerging project of a Mach-2 fighter. Two Leduc 021 ramjet-powered test-bed were built. To obtain an initial speed necessary for the start up of the engine, Leduc designed of releasing the 021 at altitude from a transporter aircraft. Languedoc was once again selected as a carrier aircraft. The two 021 completed their career when the Leduc 022 accomplished its first flight in 1956.

Boeing C-98 Clipper

In 1936, Pan Am requested for a flying boat with capability that could fly across the ocean. Boeing's bid of Model 314 Clipper was successful. Pan Am signed a contract for six Clippers. Boeing engineers used the wings of the cancelled XB-15 bomber on the flying boat body. The installation of new Wright Cyclone engines eliminated the lack of power that handicapped the XB-15. The Clipper made its first flight in 1938. It was the one of large flying boats of its time. At the outbreak of the World war II, the Clipper fleet was pressed into military service for ferrying personnel and equipment to the European and the Pacific fronts. It was given the military designation C-98. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt traveled to the Casablanca Conference in a Pan-Am crewed C-98.
