My Grandad was an engineer building the Connie!
Thanks for the vid!

I'm not sure Godfrey is right about this being a super constellation flyable at 400 mph. The nose looks like it's just a regular constellation.

~A.'Red' Godfrey Republican Radio-celebrity with daytime Nat.variety-show for years, --and an avid flier, so in this circa-1950's documentary he is promoting the notion of flying, rather than taking the popular Train in those days. The Lockheed Constellation was designed with a sleek-lined efficient lifting-fuselage by entrepreneur HowardHughes for his TWA(TransWorldAirlines); -and although most were radial-engined, the ultimate 450mph 'Connies' were those fitted with turbine R7V2-Turboprops.!!!

@XBoeingCapt Capt, I wonder what Dick Merrill really thought of Godfrey? Eddie Rickenbacker was truly a great guy... My dad met him once when he was at Eastern. The superconnie is super..

My father flew the Super Connie between New York and London for TWA, I hated him not being at home for days at a time,but when i watch videos like this i can see why he loved his job and the Connie the way he did. Thanks for the memory.
