Today’s trivia: the first scheduled route for the Stratocruiser was San Francisco to Honolulu. April, 1949. Here’s a neat, quick glimpse of the 377 and the plane that overtook it on the SFO – HNL route, the SC-7: https://airandspace.si.edu/exhibitions/hawaii-by-air/online/post-war-travel/speed-and-comfort.cfm
