An American Airlines DC-4 Flagship, built by the Douglas Aircraft Company, passes over the Statue of Liberty in this aerial view, which puts the monument in the foreground and the plane in the frame's upper reaches. The photograph is a corporate image from American Airlines, Inc., and it dates to roughly 1945 to 1950, a period when the four-engine DC-4 was carrying passengers on long domestic and international routes. Such pictures were often made to show the airline's modern fleet against recognizable American landmarks. The DC-4 was a workhorse of the postwar years, and its appearance above New York Harbor captures the moment when air travel was becoming a common part of American life.
