FS2004 Boston Maine Lockheed L10A

Textures only for FSDesign Berlin's Lockheed L10A Electra in Boston Maine livery, circa 1937. Boston Maine served the New England area. The Electra was a welcome addition to the fleet, as it was a comfortable, reliable plane and compatible to the harsh weather in the New England area. Boston Maine eventually was merged with Northeast Airlines. By Dale De Luca.

These textures are for Boston Maine Airways, which was formed in 1931 by the Boston Maine and the Maine Central Railroads, and was carried out under contract by Pan American Airways. The early route was between Boston, Portland Maine, Bangor, St. John, New Foundland, and Halifax Nova Scotia. The fleet consisted of Fokker F-10 and Sikorsky S41-B amphibians from Pan American Airways, and Stinson SM-6000B. In 1936 the first of a fleet of Lockheed Electra L10-A joined the fleet and was much welcomed as it was fast and reliable in the harsh weather of the New England Area. The Lockheed Electra debuted as a streamlined, twin-engined aircraft. But the Electra's beauty was more than just skin deep. It was the first all-metal aircraft for the American airline companies and it included such state-of-the-art technologies as variable pitch propellers, retractable landing gear, a lavatory at the rear of the cabin, and wing flaps.

Between the production years of 1934 and 1941, 148 Lockheed L-10s (as they were also known) were manufactured in four commercial and five military versions. Probably the most memorable Electra was the L-10E used by Amelia Earhart on her ill-fated flight to circumnavigate the earth at the equator in 1937. Boston Maine was eventually merged with Northeast Airlines.
