This article is not so much about words but about images. Many words have been written about the Aviodrome's Constellation over the years and her history is quite well defined. For the past ten years, I have been collecting photographs of Constellation "survivors" and would like to attempt to describe the history of this aircraft in photographs. If it works out, I'll periodically add another aircraft to the series. As usual, many thanks to the photographers that have generously allowed me to use their photos on this website and for my magazine articles. Without them, neither would be possible.
