Earlier versions of the DC-7 could stay up in the air for up to 8 hours, which made it possible to make flights easily from one coast of America to the other, but they were still incapable of intercontinental flight, and only the appearance of the DC-7C variant in 1956, named 'Seven Seas', finally allowed regular flights from the majority of American cities to European capitals. The success of the DC-7C was loud, but brief. The era of jet aviation was coming. The appearance of the epochal Boeing 707 quickly pushed all other types of aircraft with reciprocating engines into the background.
