The airline business is a hundred years old. In that time
uncountable airliners have been conceived, designed and built but,
for all their diversity, less than a hundred types have ever sold
in large numbers and, unlike military aircraft, only a handful are
truly iconic. The shortlist, in fact, is so brief (rarely more than
six) they can be named in a sentence. Because such rankings can
spark passionate debates among the cognoscenti, it’s better that
you write your own. All that can be said is that you will be
hard-pressed to leave out one of the few commercial aircraft that
still stirs hearts across the world: Lockheed’s graceful
masterpiece — the Constellation. Her elliptical wings, triple
tail, insect legs and dolphin-shaped fuselage still make her
instantly recognisable to almost everyone, even those who could
identify few other aeroplanes. For post-war travellers she came to
symbolise panache and elegance in what is sometimes known as
flying’s ‘Golden Age’. Today, eighty years after her birth,
she is loved by another generation for her retro-style and 1940s
glamour.
