The result was that the 1st DC-4 off the production line flew in 1942 wearing olive drab camoflage as the C-54 Skymaster.The C-54 admirably fitted into the USAAF's long range transport role and 1162 were built through the war years. Post war many surplus C-54s were available for airliner conversion. The type initially formed the mainstay of most long haul passenger carriers. An additional 78 additional DC-4s were produced by Douglas to new orders. Eventually the type was replaced by faster, pressurised DC-6s and Constellations. DC-4s eventually filtered down to third level operators and freight operators.
