Its passenger compartment will be kept at low-altitude air pressure for passengers' comfort while the plane flies high, above bad weather. Overweather flight has been one of commercial aviation's greatest developments in the last decade, and Douglas planes have taken the lead in making a high curve the shortest traveling distance between any two points in the U. S. DC-4 will heighten the curve, shorten the distance. Without pressurized cabins, planes now fly as high...
