| Very Big Props has a great collection of some of the largest and most complex propliners ever built; the Boeing C-97, the Lockheed Super Constellation and the Douglas DC-7. In one form or another, all three reigned supreme over the North Atlantic air routes and all ended up as careworn freighters trailing clouds of smoke behind them as they approached the scrap man.
Big twins like the C-46 and the C-119, also used large engines, so they feature too, along with some slightly smaller veteran propliners that either got in the way, or were too good to miss out.
Highlights include:
- Fabulous ramp action at Santo Domingo with DC-7s, L1049s and more
- A special feature on the Grace Aire C97, hauling salmon in Alaska
- The Brooks Air Fuel DC7 in action, including a flightdeck ride
- Florida Air Transport’s magnificent DC-7 in American Airlines colors
- Commemorative Air Force and Everts Air Fuel C-46s
- Four Star Air Transport Convair 440
- HARS Super Constellation
- Buffalo Airways DC-4s, C46s, CL215s and Cansos
- Air Spray A26 Invader.
