SuperConnnie? Lockheed Constellation and or Super Constellation.
A very pretty aircraft with 3 'tails' and used by the USAF as the EC-121, Warning Star - a RADAR picket platform.
Ike had a pair as a Presidential Transport. Killed by the -707, it was, IMO, one of the prettiest and graceful birds used by the USAF.
To be fair, depending on your circumstances, the AC-130H Specter is likely seen as the most beautiful A/C in the inventory today.

No, not a Constellation. That was TWA's tradmark airplane from that era.
have to do a search but I do recall seeing big 4 engine planes at Haneda when I was a kid in the 50s and I don't think they were DC-6s.
