The Cargomaster went into production without a prototype and had an unusual circular fuselage with top-mounted wings. The C-133 could fly the equivalent of 22 loaded railroad boxcars nonstop between Los Angeles and New York for about 5 cents per ton per mile. It carried fully assembled tanks and transported the Douglas-built Thor intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Douglas built and delivered the last Cargomasters in 1961. NASA used Cargomasters to drop-test early space capsules and to transport a variety of space products. Douglas built 50 Cargomasters, but after the C-133, Douglas did not build transports specifically for the military for another 10 years.BI47027 (BIV16_C-133_01)Maximum size:720px × 480px (~42 MB)License type:Rights ManagedDuration:2m0sKeywords:1950s-airplanes-C-133 Cargomaster-California-cargo loading-day-Douglas Aircraft-Douglas Aircraft Santa Monica Facility-full body views-ground crews-historic production status-landing-large-military-military livery-military personnel-missiles-monoplanes-out of production-propeller planes-taxiing-transports-trucks-United StatesRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:C-133 Cargomaster
