Airliner - Convair 240
Convair 240
This airliner Pan Am bought and flew it for almost 10 years. It was a small ship and was mainly used in the West Indies. These islands got more and more better airfields, so it was no problem to serve them with modern aircraft. The last Convair went out of service in 1957. Pan Am also flew the bigger model the Convair 340 but kept them only a few month.
