As a young boy I remember flying on a PAA Stratocruiser from Paris to New York and back. We were stationed in Paris and went back to the states halfway through dad's tour for a month's vacation. He worked for the CAA - today known as the FAA.
I remember the downstairs lounge and being up in the cockpit while in-flight. To this day I remember all those cockpit windows!
