Were these operational aircraft or just prototypes? Or were they
converted from operational bombers and used as stop-gaps until the
aircraft manufacturers got back to civilian production?


Proven bomber designs with a new passenger-friendly
fusalage. In this case the B-24.

Boeing converted the B-17 and B-29 into the 307 and
the 377, respectively.
