As additional DC-6's are delivered, they will take over NAL’s longer flights, with the company’s fleet of DC-4’s—all built within the last 18 months—moving into local service. Coincident with inauguration of service with its new 58-passenger, 5-mile-a-minute postwar luxury liners, National announced that from July 1 only four-engine ships would serve its routes between Florida and’ New York, including all intermediate points.
