I still don't know how they got away with it. Didn't piston-engined airliners have to fly down in the weather, instead of up over it?

Yes. Hence some of them crashing and the rest being scrapped. They also had limited range, but that was part of the fun. You would hop from San Fran to a series of tiny islands on your way to Japan. Each had a 5-Star hotel where you would stay and continue to receive white-glove service.
