  • On Saturday, November 1, 1952, Braniff International Airways placed the new Convair 340-32 Cosmopolitan twin-engine piston-powered 44-passenger airliner into service. Braniff was the first carrier in the world to inaugurate service with the new Convairliner that was hailed as the replacement for the venerable Douglas DC-3.
    Convair 340 service began on November 1, 1952, from Dallas to Austin, San Antonio then Corpus Christi. Also from Denver to Colorado Springs, Amarillo, Lubbock, Ft Worth Meacham Field and then Dallas Love Field. Service was expanded as new aircraft were delivered. Braniff merged with Mid-Continent Airlines on August 16, 1952, and Mid-Continent also had six Convair 340s on order and those orders were taken up by Braniff.
    The Convair 340s remained in faithful service with Braniff until retirement on September 5, 1967. With the retirement of the 340, Braniff became an all jet-powered airline leaving only the Lockheed L-188 Electra II as the sole propeller aircraft in the fleet. Braniff operated the Convairs for fifteen years but two CV340 aircraft, Ships N3413 and N3416, were retained until 1969, as backup and maintenance-run aircraft.
