Unfortunately, I see your point.

Dixon Cannon said:My hat pin which I wear on a Borsalino is indeed the Boeing 307 'Stratoliner'. The Boeing 377 was a larger tricycle gear known as the 'Stratocruiser'.
The two engine, conventional gear airplane pin is in fact the Douglas DC-3.
The Douglas DC-6 is the expanded, pressurized version of the popular Douglas C-54 Skymaster transport. It has no nickname of it's own.
Next question...

Dixon Cannon said:And, oddly enough, that's the Douglas DC-3 airplane in that ad - not a Boeing 307 'Stratoliner'! I can see why it is so confusing; 'Stratoliner' hat - Douglas airplane. Hmmm..
