This is a very careful repainting of a Real Super Convair 340, circa 1956. At that time she flew the main Brazilian routes, including the world's first Air Shuttle: S. Paulo - Rio . At that time Real had a fleet of 14 Convair 440's and 6 CV-340's.
Born in 1946 as many other airlines of that time - with WWII C-47/DC-3's - Real Transportes Aereos started flying between S.Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In 1950 with a fleet of 25 DC-3's Real flew to 30 cities in five states of Brazil. With a policy of low fares, Real quickly grew in the Brazilian market and started to acquire other companies and their national and international lines. In this way Wright, Transcontinental, Aerovias-Brasil and Nacional were incorporated in the Real consortium. By 1956 Real flew to all Brazilian states, South America and the USA - main national routes being covered by Convairs. In 1959 Real's fleet reached a total of 100 airplanes. International routes to Los Angeles and Tokio were put into operation with Super H Constellations in 1960, just a year before Real was bought by Varig.
