The “Acropolis” was built as a C-54 for the US Air Force and in 1945 converted into a civilian DC-4. TWA mainly used its DC-4 on the North Africa route from New York to Cairo. Until 1950 the company was registered under the name Transcontinental & Western Air, only after that the advertising slogan "The Trans World Airline" became the official company name.
