In 1961, I took a flight aboard a Douglas DC-6 from McGuire Air Force Base in Wrightstown, NJ to Frankfurt, Germany that took 19 hours, but it wasn’t nonstop. The plane landed at Gander, Newfoundland to refuel.

In 1963 our family took a military prop transport from the Philippines to Los Angeles AFB.

Seems like it took a couple of days with all the stops.
