Based on XB-42 Mixmaster technology, Douglas designed this five-seat executive aircraft and also an 48-passenger airliner called the DC-8. The sole Cloudster II only flew two times in 1947, suffering from vibrations in the long propeller shaft, overheating and cost overruns. Photo assumed taken in Santa Monica where the prototype was still present ten years later. It ended up with a boy scout group. Photo from: Douglas

"New Luxury Airliner: New giant of the airways, United Air Lines' five-mile-a-minute, four-engine Mainliner 300 has been making cross-country operational and training flights and visiting cities along United's coast-to-coast and Pacific Coast route prior to going into scheduled service about April 1. The Douglas-built luxury liner, commonly referred to as the DC-6, is capable of coast-to-coast flights in 8 ½ hours and will carry 52 to 56 passengers plus 5,400 pounds of cargo. United is taking delivery of 35 of these new postwar planes." (United Air Lines Photograph No. 241)

The PA-6 first flew in 1946. It had a all-metal tail and fuselage but the wing was wood with fabric covering. NX580 was flown until 1956 when it went into storage. But in 2009 it was reregistered as N390UZ to be restored. A second PA-6, c/n 6-1 NC4000M appeared in 1947 and was all-metal. It did not enter production.
