Boeing's Model 377 is arguably the definitive design of the great propliner era of the 1950s. Its portly, blunt-nosed exterior hid a cabin that was built for the utmost comfort, in an age when only the very rich could afford to fly. 'Strats' crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific in the colours of BOAC, Pan American, American Overseas and Northwest - the landmark airlines of their day. While its time in the skies was relatively brief - cut short by the arrival of the new jets - the story of the Stratocruiser is a truly splendid one.
Only 56 Stratocruisers were ever built, but the design had an impact - and inspired a love - out of all proportion to its numbers. The Stratocruiser pushed the technology of piston-engined aircraft to the limits, and sometimes beyond, as early technical hitches and crashes were endured and overcome. In another guise the Stratocruiser had a quiet but important career as the US Air Force's KC-97 air-to-air tanker. The KC'97 was the backbone of Strategic Air Command's tanker fleet tor many years and KC-97s soldiered on in service for decades after the last airliners had been put to rest.
