Douglas C-54 Skymaster
The Douglas C-54 Skymaster was a four-engined transport aircraft used by the United States Army Air Forces in World War II and the Korean War. Like the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, the C-54 Skymaster was derived from a civilian airliner, the Douglas DC-4.
Besides transport of cargo, the C-54 also carried presidents, prime ministers, and military staff. Dozens of variants of the C-54 were employed in a wide variety of non-combat roles such as air-sea rescue, scientific and military research, and missile tracking and recovery. During the Berlin Airlift it hauled coal and food supplies to West Berlin.
After the Korean War it continued to be used for military and civilian uses by more than 30 countries. This was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the United States.
Design and development
The original DC-4 was abandoned in favor of a smaller, less-complex four-engined design. This newer design was also designated DC-4, leading the earlier design to be re-designated DC-4E (E for "experimental"). Before the definitive DC-4 could enter service the outbreak of World War II meant production was channeled to the United States Army Air Forces and the type was given the military designation C-54 Skymaster, with US Navy aircraft designated Douglas R5D. The first aircraft, a C-54, flew from Clover Field in Santa Monica, California on 14 February 1942. With the introduction of the Tri-Service aircraft designation system in 1962, all R5Ds were re-designated C-54. In the end, only 80 DC-4s were built, the remaining aircraft being C-54s.

America's BRUTAL Super Transporter | Douglas C-54 Skymaster
Douglas C-54 This is no run-of-the-mill C-54; serial number 42-107451 is a rare bird. Known as the VC-54C, this heavily modified Douglas plane was used to carry the president. When it was decided that the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, should have a personal airplane to transport him to meetings around the world, the aircraft of choice was the US Army Air Corps C-54 Skymaster. Dubbed ‘The Sacred Cow,’ the plane flew the president to Tehran, Casablanca, Hawaii, and other less exotic spots in the USA. This is the __Douglas C-54 Skymaster storyline. When the Boeing Model 247 was released in the early 1930s, it revolutionized the commercial airline industry.

Douglas C-54 Skymaster | Boeing Classics
Douglas built 1,241 of the DC-4s and its military counterparts, the C-54 Skymaster for the Army Air Forces and the R5D for the Navy. During the war, C-54s flew a million miles a month over the rugged North Atlantic -- more than 20 round trips a day. A special VC-54C, nicknamed the "Sacred Cow" by the White House press corps, became the first presidential aircraft, ordered for Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the years immediately following the war, new DC-4s and used C-54s carried more passengers than any other four-engine transport.

Douglas C-54
This is no run-of-the-mill C-54; serial number 42-107451 is a rare bird. Known as the VC-54C, this heavily modified Douglas plane was used to carry the president. When it was decided that the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, should have a personal airplane to transport him to meetings around the world, the aircraft of choice was the US Army Air Corps C-54 Skymaster. Dubbed ‘The Sacred Cow,’ the plane flew the president to Tehran, Casablanca, Hawaii, and other less exotic spots in the USA.
This is the __Douglas C-54 Skymaster storyline.
When the Boeing Model 247 was released in the early 1930s, it revolutionized the commercial airline industry. The magnificent but ponderous Curtiss T-32 Condor biplane, the Fokker F VII, and the Ford tri-motors were finally replaced by the sleek, all-metal airliners. But something even greater would follow—it was the Douglas DC-3. Just as quickly as the Model 247 had taken off, the Douglas aircraft completely overshadowed it. 90 years later, it is still in service, while the Model 247 is only a distant memory.
But there is one more thing that Douglas DC-3 did. It was laying the groundwork for the Douglas C-54. Taking cues from the success of the DC-3, Douglas developed a single DC-4 prototype that could transport 42 passengers by day and 30 by night. The experimental DC-4 was fully equipped with sleeping quarters, even having a separate bridal suite.
But It turned out to be too costly to operate, so airlines reached a decision to stop work in favor of the less complicated DC-4, which was not put into commercial service until later.__With the United States' impending involvement in World War II, civilian airliners like the Douglas DC-4 were repurposed to meet the country's growing military needs. And therefore rebranded to the C-54 Skymaster. The initial civil production model featured four auxiliary fuel tanks in the main cabin, limiting the plane's capacity to 26 passengers.

Douglas built 1,241 of the DC-4s and its military counterparts, the C-54 Skymaster for the Army Air Forces and the R5D for the Navy. During the war, C-54s flew a million miles a month over the rugged North Atlantic -- more than 20 round trips a day. A special VC-54C, nicknamed the "Sacred Cow" by the White House press corps, became the first presidential aircraft, ordered for Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the years immediately following the war, new DC-4s and used C-54s carried more passengers than any other four-engine transport.

Douglas C-54
This is no run-of-the-mill C-54; serial number 42-107451 is a rare bird. Known as the VC-54C, this heavily modified Douglas plane was used to carry the president. When it was decided that the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, should have a personal airplane to transport him to meetings around the world, the aircraft of choice was the US Army Air Corps C-54 Skymaster. Dubbed ‘The Sacred Cow,’ the plane flew the president to Tehran, Casablanca, Hawaii, and other less exotic spots in the USA.
This is the __Douglas C-54 Skymaster storyline.
When the Boeing Model 247 was released in the early 1930s, it revolutionized the commercial airline industry. The magnificent but ponderous Curtiss T-32 Condor biplane, the Fokker F VII, and the Ford tri-motors were finally replaced by the sleek, all-metal airliners. But something even greater would follow—it was the Douglas DC-3. Just as quickly as the Model 247 had taken off, the Douglas aircraft completely overshadowed it. 90 years later, it is still in service, while the Model 247 is only a distant memory.
But there is one more thing that Douglas DC-3 did. It was laying the groundwork for the Douglas C-54. Taking cues from the success of the DC-3, Douglas developed a single DC-4 prototype that could transport 42 passengers by day and 30 by night. The experimental DC-4 was fully equipped with sleeping quarters, even having a separate bridal suite.
But It turned out to be too costly to operate, so airlines reached a decision to stop work in favor of the less complicated DC-4, which was not put into commercial service until later.__With the United States' impending involvement in World War II, civilian airliners like the Douglas DC-4 were repurposed to meet the country's growing military needs. And therefore rebranded to the C-54 Skymaster. The initial civil production model featured four auxiliary fuel tanks in the main cabin, limiting the plane's capacity to 26 passengers.

Douglas built 1,241 of the DC-4s and its military counterparts, the C-54 Skymaster for the Army Air Forces and the R5D for the Navy. During the war, C-54s flew a million miles a month over the rugged North Atlantic -- more than 20 round trips a day. A special VC-54C, nicknamed the "Sacred Cow" by the White House press corps, became the first presidential aircraft, ordered for Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the years immediately following the war, new DC-4s and used C-54s carried more passengers than any other four-engine transport.

Douglas C-54 Skymaster
The Douglas C-54 Skymaster was a four-engined transport aircraft used by the United States Army Air Forces in World War II and the Korean War. Like the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, the C-54 Skymaster was derived from a civilian airliner, the Douglas DC-4.
Besides transport of cargo, the C-54 also carried presidents, prime ministers, and military staff. Dozens of variants of the C-54 were employed in a wide variety of non-combat roles such as air-sea rescue, scientific and military research, and missile tracking and recovery. During the Berlin Airlift it hauled coal and food supplies to West Berlin.
After the Korean War it continued to be used for military and civilian uses by more than 30 countries. This was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the United States.
Design and development
The original DC-4 was abandoned in favor of a smaller, less-complex four-engined design. This newer design was also designated DC-4, leading the earlier design to be re-designated DC-4E (E for "experimental"). Before the definitive DC-4 could enter service the outbreak of World War II meant production was channeled to the United States Army Air Forces and the type was given the military designation C-54 Skymaster, with US Navy aircraft designated Douglas R5D. The first aircraft, a C-54, flew from Clover Field in Santa Monica, California on 14 February 1942. With the introduction of the Tri-Service aircraft designation system in 1962, all R5Ds were re-designated C-54. In the end, only 80 DC-4s were built, the remaining aircraft being C-54s.
