This page shows my collection of postcards of the Boeing B-377 Stratocruiser aircraft.

Quoted from Boeing's web page about the B-377:

"After World War II was over, Boeing re-entered the commercial market with a new long-range airliner, the Stratocruiser (Model 377). It was the first Boeing commercial transport since the Stratoliner and, like its military counterpart, the C-97, was based on the B-29 bomber. It possessed all the speed and technical improvements available to bombers at the end of the war.

The Stratocruiser set a new standard for luxurious air travel with its tastefully decorated extra-wide passenger cabin and gold-appointed dressing rooms. A circular staircase led to a lower-deck beverage lounge, and flight attendants prepared hot meals for 50 to 100 people in a state-of-the-art galley. As a sleeper, the Stratocruiser was equipped with 28 upper-and-lower bunk units.

Pan American placed the first order for 20 Stratocruisers, worth $24 million, and they began service between San Francisco, Calif., and Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1949. Boeing built 56 Stratocruisers between 1947 and 1950, and they marked the company's first significant success selling passenger planes to airlines in other countries.

During the early 1960s, Aero Space Lines ballooned the Stratocruiser's fuselage into a whale-like shape to carry spacecraft sections. Nine of the variants were assembled. The first was called the "Pregnant Guppy," followed by five larger "Superguppies" and three smaller "Miniguppies." In the process, one of the most elegant airplanes in the sky became one of the ugliest."

PanAm - Pan American Airways

Pan American was the airline placing the original and largest order for the new double-decked Stratocruisers, 20 of the 56 built. It later purchased one of the prototypes and aquired eight by merger with American Overseas Airlines in 1950, for a total of 29. Ten were later modified to "Super" Stratocruisers by installation of additional 450 gallon fuel tanks, allowing non-stop flights to London and Paris from New York.

Transocean Air Lines

A supplemental carrier, Transocean was born in 1946, and at its peak had 6500 employees. Fourteen luxurious double-decked Stratocruisers were purchased from BOAC to fly the carrier's transcontinental and Pacific routes. Only eight were actually placed into service, with the balance grounded for spare parts. Transocean went bankrupt on July 11, 1960, and the entire Stratocruiser fleet was sold at auction for a mere $150.000. The majority of the remains eventually went to Aero Space Lines, for use in modification of 377s to "Pregnant Guppy" oversized freighters.
