Additional Information
Two icons of the American spirit of ingenuity and freedom, this image of the Douglas DC 4 flying over Lower Manhattan remains one of the most distinctive representations of the significant transformation the nation underwent in the years following the conclusion of World War II as American GIs returned from Europe and the Pacific Theater eager for work or to gain access to higher education. The DC-4 was first released in 1942 and served both commercial passengers and its deployment during the American effort in World War II. It was not retired from use until 1991, making it one of the longest-serving planes in aviation history.
Manhattan's iconic skyline, a testament to American progress, remains a symbol of the largest city in the United States. Its prominence as the backdrop for this photo underscores how much growth and evolution the nation experienced in less than 100 years as skyscrapers built of metal and glass became the norm in large urban centers during the Industrial Revolution, which provided the nation with a period of significant prosperity that lasted through the Post War era. The DC 4 also symbolized the newfound freedom Americans found during this time as advances in aviation technology allowed them greater access to travel both domestically and abroad.
This photograph is an iconic piece of American history that immediately transports the viewer back in time. It creates an indelible bond between the past and present and offers a glimpse into the nation's collective growth and transformation in the 20th century.
