The Ponce de Leon, an Eastern Air Lines Constellation passenger plane, is christened with a bottle of Cola-Cola in 1951 by Fred B. Moore and Paula Reid. The Constellation was the first aircraft purchased by Eastern's president Eddie Rickenbacker during the company's transition from military to passenger service after World War II.
