Details
The DC-7 is the last and largest of the Douglas pistons, built to fly the United States non-stop in both directions and then, as the DC-7C Seven Seas, the Atlantic. It ran from the 55,429 kg DC-7 through the DC-7B to the 64,864 kg DC-7C, whose longer wing moved the engines further from the cabin. Within four years of the Seven Seas the 707 had made all of them obsolete.
