	Boeing 377 Stratocruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was the airliner version of the 367 Boeing Stratofreighter, which in turn was the transport version of B-50 Superfortress.
		Despite serious design flaws and a marginal service record [1], the Stratocruiser was one of the great post-war propeller airliners.
		The worst single accident occurred on April 29, 1952; separation of the number two engine and propeller from Pan Am Flight 202 caused it to crash in the jungle near Carolina, Brazil, killing all forty-one passengers and nine crew.

	Boeing Stratocruiser
		The result is the Boeing Stratocruiser, the most comfortable method yet devised by man of getting from one place on the earth's surface to another (if we do say so ourselves) — and getting there with a minimum of wasted time and lost motion.
		Thus the Stratocruiser chair adapts itself to the occupant — the occupant does not have to adapt himself to the seat, with resultant fatigue.
		A Stratocruiser passenger who has been amazed at the amount of room and comfort all around him will not be surprised if the meals he receives are the best he has ever eaten on any trip.

		This is not uncommon since airlines like to fly their planes at the most fuel efficient speed which is usually quite a bit lower than the maximum velocity.
		Much like the LA to Bombay trip, the flight from London to NY is affected by headwinds since the aircraft is traveling east to west, which is against the prevailing winds.
		Since the Stratocruiser only cruises around 300 mph (480 km/h), a head wind of 70 to 80 mph (110 to 130 km/h) would account for the decreased average speeds.
