Designed as a transport and 168-passenger airliner for the US Navy and Pan Am, the double-decker Constitution did not progress beyond two prototypes. In 1949, the second aircraft made a recruiting tour of 19 cities, carrying 'Your Navy - Air and Sea' titles. Over half a million people reportedly queued to get inside. The RM tailcode belonged to VR-44 at Alameda. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum This photo was added on 28 May 2020, and has since been viewed 377 times.
