1945-1958 Pan American Livery: WINGED GLOBE Pan Am Fleet: - Lockheed L-049 Constellation - Boeing 377 Stratocruiser - Douglas DC-4 - Douglas DC-6B - Douglas DC-7C - Convair CV-240 - Convair CV-340 The immediate post-war era saw Pan Am massively develop its reach and land-plane fleet with large numbers of Douglas C-54s, Lockheed L-049/749 Constellations and Boeing 377 Stratocruisers. Convair 240s and Curtiss C-46 Commandos joined the fleet in 1948. All of these types wore the first post-war livery. The winged globe logo was revised to incorporate a much larger chunk of the globe than the North and South America of the pre-war scheme (worn by DC-2s, DC-3s and Stratoliners). Around 1950 Pan Am adopted a white crown to the livery, which otherwise remained largely the same aside from a much larger PAA on the tail. This was the first scheme worn by the DC-6s and DC-7Cs.
