Among the planes that flew to Hawaii in the 1950s and ’60s, the Stratocruiser stood out. Blunt-nosed and bigger than any other airliner, it was well suited for the long mainland-Hawaii flights. It was roomy and luxurious, and its seats converted into cozy sleeping berths for overnight flights. It featured another popular perk: a lower-deck cocktail lounge you reached by a spiral staircase. Stratocruisers appear on many of the posters nearby.
