The Douglas DC-3 was one of the most noteworthy aircraft ever built. An outgrowth of the DC-2, it was designed at the request of American Airlines for an aircraft to service its longer routes and which would provide passengers room to stretch out and sleep. America Airlines had been using the Curtiss Condor which was large enough for sleeping berths, but it was slow. While the DC-2 was faster, it was too narrow for sleeping berths.
Aircraft NC18141 (featured) was one of American Airlines Flagships (May 20th, 1939) and was named "Tulsa". Afterwards it served with Trans Texas (1949), Texas International (1968), Tradewinds 1969, Air New England (1971) and, finally, with Naplees/Prov Boston as N38PB.
