I love this aircraft! It was an amazingly advanced aircraft for its time, which is perhaps not surprising when one discovers that no other than Howard Hughes' TWA funded its development. I can highly recommend the book by Ken Wixey (ISBN 978-0752417660) for a history of both the military and civilian variants; it starts with the Lockheed company's beginnings after the Great War and goes all the way to the Lockheed Starliner (the final variant of the Constellation). Suffice it to say that the model was significantly more reliable than a certain other vehicle with the same name! Also, there's a Super Constellation that you can fly in the FlightGear simulator[1], which is remarkably accurate (and, dare I say, a big challenge to fly).
