Airport Brussels Sabena Douglas
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, the Douglas DC-4 aircraft, registration number OO-CBI, of Sabena, the Belgian national airline, is seen gracefully parked at Brussels Airport. The Douglas DC-4, a legendary transport plane produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company between 1941 and 1945, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during its time. Its distinctive design, featuring a large cargo door and twin tail, made it an iconic sight in the skies. OO-CBI, proudly emblazoned on the side of the plane, stands for "Out of Battle, Belgium, Import," signifying that this particular DC-4 had been repurposed for civilian use after the end of World War II. Sabena, the Belgian national airline, operated a fleet of DC-4s like OO-CBI, connecting Belgium with destinations across Europe and beyond. Brussels Airport, then known as Brussels National Airport, served as the primary hub for Sabena and other European airlines. The airport's modernist architecture and expansive runways were a testament to the growing importance of air travel in the post-war era. In this image, the DC-4 sits serenely amidst the bustling airport activity, a symbol of the golden age of aviation. The Douglas DC-4, with its powerful engines and versatile design, played a crucial role in the development of civil aviation. OO-CBI, a proud representative of Sabena's fleet, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic aircraft and the spirit of exploration and connection that defined the era.
