That's a Lockheed Constellation. I don't know if it's any worse than other planes of it's time, but it sure seems to have a lengthy list of catastrophes associated with it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_Lockheed_Constellation
I always thought the Connie's distinctive triple tail very peculiar but it was done to keep the aircraft's overall height low enough to fit in existing 1940s hangars.
