The pressurized Model 367s had a double-lobe fuselage consisting of two intersecting circular sections so its 74-foot-long upper deck had the larger diameter. Cargo was loaded through large clamshell doors in the belly using a built-in ramp and a hoist. In addition to five crew members, the C-97 Stratofreighter could carry 134 troops or 83 stretcher patients with four attendants.BI221701 (p6462)Maximum size:3950px × 5100px (~57 MB)13.1in × 17.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1940s-adults-airplanes-C-97 Stratofreighter (Model 367)-factory workers-female-full body views-fuselages-ground shots-historic production status-interiors-male-manufacturing-military-monoplanes-occupations and work-photos-Plant II-propeller planes-Rosie the Riveter-several/groups-structural systems-symmetry-transports-viewed from aboveRelated Photo/Videos:View All
