To accommodate the special needs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt the USAAF had Douglas Aircraft construct an aircraft that would meet these requirements. Douglas came up with the VC-54C that was nicknamed the “Sacred Cow”. The aircraft was equipped with a conference room and bulletproof picture windows. The most unique feature was an elevator located behind the passenger cabin to lift President Roosevelt and his wheelchair straight up into the plane. In 1947, on board this plane President Truman signed the National Security Act that created the USAF.
Designed as an advanced civil transport to replace the DC-3, the DC4 was first flown on June 7th, 1938.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
