The C-124 featured a gigantic fuselage, with clamshell doors under the plane's nose that allowed dive-in access to a cargo compartment almost 12 foot high. It made its first flight on November 27, 1949 from the Douglas plant at Long Beach, Ca. Its delivery to the U.S. Air Force coincided with the onset of the Korean War and the C-124 played an important role in the airlift of supplies to the Far East. The C-124 could carry more cargo, longer distances than any other military transport of the time. It could accommodate 200 troops, or 123 stretchers, or up to 74,000 pounds of cargo. The last of 448 C-124 Globemaster IIs were delivered to the Air Force in 1955, but the big plane's dependability allowed it to remain in service until 1978.BI47024 (BIV16_C-124_01)Maximum size:720px × 480px (~29 MB)License type:Rights ManagedDuration:1m22sKeywords:1950s-adults-air to air-airplanes-blue skies-C-124 Globemaster II-clear skies-day-Douglas Aircraft-exteriors-flying-full body views-ground crews-haze-historic production status-landing-male-military-military livery-monoplanes-one person-propeller planes-taxiing-transports-vintage / retroRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:C-124 Globemaster II
