Built as VC-54C USAAF s/n 42-107451. This was the first a/c outfitted for presidential use. It was used once by Franklin Roosevelt, that being his flight to Yalta and back in 1945. On that flight it was marked with a false serial number on the vertical fin. The a/c has been restored to the markings for that flight. Later used by President Harry Truman from 1945 through 1947 when it was replaced by a VC-118. This photo was taken in the old presidential a/c hangar (the a/c were wedged in, not good for photography!). Now on display in the new Presidential Gallery in the main museum.

Built for the USAF as C-54D 42-72560 and flew on the Berlin Air Lift as such. In post-1945 USN service it was assigned to the 1958 'Operation Deep Freeze' in Antarctica which may have been when it acquired the belly mounted device. Retired to MASDC in 1966 then registered as N67041 in 1975 and converted to aerial firefighting tanker. Retired again in 1989 and put on display, with original USAF livery and serial, at Travis AFB (KSUU).

KLM acquired six new DC-4 airliners in 1946. Named Rotterdam after delivery, PH-TAR flew the very first Amsterdam - New York service on 21 May. It was also the first KLM aircraft to wear The Flying Dutchman titles. Therefore, though the reg under the wing is tricky to read, this cannot be PH-TAP. We are pretty sure the tail on the left belongs to Dutch C-54A NL-313 as seen in photo 408646. Photo from: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
