DC-4 Over Midtown, 1939.

From a site with a huge and oh-so-interesting collection of black and white photos of New York City, beginning at the turn of the last century and continuing up to the early 60s. The photos are large and the site has a “broadband recommended” disclaimer. But: do go. Some excellent shots of the way we were. And I do mean excellent.

The caption to this particular photo says “DC-4 Over Midtown, 1939. Hood’s Daily News Building lower right.” I originally thought the aircraft pictured was not a DC-4. And it turns out I was sorta right…it’s a DC-4E, the “E” standing for “experimental.” This is the DC-4 I’m familiar with, the model with the single vertical stabilizer.

(hat tip: James. Who else?)
