description="The Starliner was the last of the long-range piston-engine airliners. Providing accommodation for twenty-six first-class and forty-five tourist-class passengers, N7307C "Star of Montana" entered service with TWA in May 1957 and inaugurated the non-stop polar service San Francisco-London on 2 October 1957. Withdrawn from use by TWA 12 September 1960."
