Lockheed Constellation Airliner on Ramp with Pan American Boarding Stairs, Agana, Guam

A Lockheed Constellation transport, identifiable by its signature triple tail, sits on the ramp at Agana, Guam, with a Pan American World Airways boarding stairway alongside. Naval Air Transport Squadron VR-6 operated logistics and passenger flights across the Pacific in the postwar years, often sharing facilities and equipment with commercial carriers like Pan Am, which pioneered many of the same trans-Pacific air routes.
