Design pedigree of DC-7C's ("Seven Seas"); long range overseas nonstop version obtained by stretching size, weight and power of basic 7; comparison of its performance with Lockheed 1049-G; it is concluded that DC-7C will have slight edge on 1049-G in all but first cost, and gives promise of being world's best piston engined long haul transport for tropospheric traveling.
