Comments
Brian - the Martin 4-0-4 airliners were a frequent visitor and sighting when I was growing up. Southern Airways operated a fleet of Martin 4-0-4 "Aristocrat" aircraft (based out of Atlanta) for a number of years on their many routes stretching across the Southeastern U.S. in the halcyon era of regional airline travel. These were all acquired by Southern from Eastern Airlines starting in 1961 to replace the Douglas DC-3 type as they were then flying.
What a great shot of the Martin. Has a ventral stairway too.
My first flight in any airplane was in a Pacific Air Lines Martin 4-0-4 from SBA - LAX in March 1958. A particularly cool feature (I thought) was the airstair under the tail, like on a DC-9.
