Douglas DC-4E

The Douglas DC-4E was an American experimental airliner that was developed before World War II. The DC-4E never entered full scale production but was redesigned into the successful DC-4-C-54. The DC-4E was also used as the foundation for the Japanese bomber the Nakajima G5N.

As the aircraft was based on the Douglas DC-4E, early on, it was designated as the 4EB. I note that this aircraft was posted as a challenge back in August. Sorry.1
