Built in 1944, this C-54 initially served in the Pacific Theater of World War II. In support of the Berlin Air Lift, she was modified for hauling coal into Berlin. She was stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base from January of 1949. Today, 44-9030 is preserved at the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Designed to meet a United Airlines requirement for a long-range passenger airliner, the Douglas DC-4 was first flown on June 7, 1938. The prototype was a very ambitious four-engined, pressurized aircraft that was three times the size of its predecessor, the DC-3-a design that proved far too expensive and difficult for civilian airlines to maintain. Douglas revised the design, but by the time it was complete WWII was well underway and development of the aircraft was channeled to the US military. Post-war, the DC-4 became a popular and reliable airliner with major carriers such as National and Northwest Airlines. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
