~Art 'Red' Godfrey Republican Radio-celebrity with daytime Nat.variety-show for years, -and an avid flier, so in this documentary he's nicely 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.!!!
