Its civilian counterpart was the Model 377 Stratocruiser. The C-97 had a double-lobe fuselage consisting of two intersecting circular sections, so that the 74-foot-long upper deck had a larger diameter. Cargo was loaded through large clamshell-type doors in the belly of the aircraft using a built-in ramp and a hoist. Its wings, engine gear and other parts were similar to the B-29.BI221875 (k1417)Maximum size:5100px × 4050px (~59 MB)17.0in × 13.5in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1940s-377 Stratocruiser-air to air-airplanes-beaches and coastlines-blue-blue skies-bodies of water-C-97 Stratofreighter (Model 367)-day-exteriors-flying-full body views-glare-haze-historic production status-KC-97A-left side views-military-military livery-monoplanes-photos-propeller planes-silver color-sunshine-Tankers-unpainted-vignetting-vintage / retro-vivid colorRelated Photo/Videos:View All
