The artist chose different icons and characteristics that represent peoples, plants, animals, and landmarks of the different countries and continents. Many cartographic symbols as well. The Lockheed Constellation (affectionately nicknamed "Connie" by airline buffs) was a propeller-driven airliner powered by four 18-cylinder radial Wright R-3350 engines. It was built by Lockheed between 1943 and 1958 at its Burbank, California, facility. A total of 856 aircraft were produced in numerous models, all distinguished by a triple-tail design and dolphin-shaped fuselage. The Constellation was used as a civilian airliner and as a U.S. military air transport, seeing service in the Berlin Airlift. It was the presidential aircraft for U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
