Douglas DC-4, registered VR-HFF, flew for Cathay Pacific as part of the Hong Kong carrier's early piston-engine fleet supporting regional Asian routes during the airline's formative years following its 1946 founding. Cathay Pacific built its early network using DC-4s and other piston aircraft to connect Hong Kong to destinations across Southeast Asia before the airline's transition to turboprop and eventually jet aircraft. As part of this historic fleet, VR-HFF supported Cathay Pacific's pioneering early regional operations during a formative period for what would become one of Asia's leading international carriers.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed to meet a United Airlines requirement for a long-range passenger airliner, the Douglas DC-4 was first flown on June 7, 1938. The prototype was a very ambitious four-engined, pressurized aircraft that was three times the size of its predecessor, the DC-3-a design that proved far too expensive and difficult for civilian airlines to maintain. Douglas revised the design, but by the time it was complete WWII was well underway and development of the aircraft was channeled to the US military. Post-war, the DC-4 became a popular and reliable airliner with major carriers such as National and Northwest Airlines. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
