If not for the single tail the rest of that bird looks like a B-24 Liberator.I spotted the same resemblance.
Alas, my bias is toward three...
Immortal comment from an unidentified Constellation pilot: It takes one hell of a man to handle three pieces of tail at once.

I love Connies - graceful, beautiful aircraft. The L-1049G ("Super G") is possibly my favourite Connie.

When I was in 6th grade I flew from Albrook AFB in the Canal Zone to Charleston NC on a Constellation. I got to sit in the right seat for a while.....quite a thrill for a kid.
That was back in '61.
