Propliner Ordinary/First Class pitch
What was the pitch in the Ordinary/First Class, before and after Pan Am invented Tourist Class?
The cabin width of Constellation, DC-7 and Stratocruiser is pretty similar to each other and to DC-9 family. Tourist Class 5 abreast was not wider than 5 abreast tourist class on DC-9. 6 abreast like on DC-8 and B707 was out of question.
The standard seating on propliners was 4 abreast, 2-2 - thus rather similar to DC-9 shorthaul first class. But what was seat pitch like?
How would you compare the legroom of 1950-s propliners to the business and first class of modern jets?
