EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Convair CV-340 N3401, proudly displays the distinctive livery of Phillips Petroleum as it taxis at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport on 2 June 1959. The Convair CV-340, a twin-engine turboprop airliner, was a popular choice for both civilian and military applications during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Phillips Petroleum, an American oil and natural gas production company, operated a fleet of CV-340s for various purposes, including executive travel and the transportation of company personnel and equipment. The sleek aircraft, with its distinctive red and blue stripes, is seen here in pristine condition as it prepares for its next journey. The Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, then known as Dallas Love Field, was a major hub for both domestic and international air travel during the mid-20th century. The airport's modern facilities and efficient operations made it an ideal location for Phillips Petroleum to base its corporate aviation fleet. The Convair CV-340, with its advanced design and powerful engines, was a pioneer in the field of turboprop airliners. Its ability to fly at high altitudes and cruising speeds made it a popular choice for both short and long-haul flights. The aircraft's spacious cabin, which could accommodate up to 50 passengers, was also a major selling point for airlines and private operators alike. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation during a bygone era. The Convair CV-340, with its distinctive livery and sleek design, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the post-war aviation industry. As we look at this image, we can almost hear the roar of the engines and feel the excitement of taking to the skies in this iconic aircraft.
