description=The Martin 202\/404 was truly the first "modern" postwar  airliner. Designed to be a replacement for the Douglas DC-3, the "Martinliner" was the first post-war airliner design to reach production. First flown in November of 1946, the Model 2-0-2 gained full airliner certification in August, 1947. A total of 43 Model 202 and 202A's were built.\nThe Martin 4-0-4 "Skyliner" followed in 1950. Refinements included a longer fuselage, a pressurized and air-conditioned cabin, and more powerful engines. 103 Model 404's were built before production ended.
