Brief Constellation history: Perhaps the most beautiful airliner ever flown, the Lockheed Super-G Connie was the airplane that opened Europe to the hoards of postwar American tourists that could not or would not spend the time and money to cross the Atlantic by ship. The L-109 was the first airliner with sufficient speed and range to be termed inter-continental.
The Lockheed Constellation (Connie)was one of the most graceful airliners ever placed in service. With its long, sinuous fuselage and gently tapered, upswept wings, the sleek Constellation suggested a seagull in flight. Another distinctive feature of the Constellation was its triple rudder assembly. This feature was in marked contrast to the more conventionally designed single-fin.
