History:

The C-124 Globemaster was affectionately called as "Old Shakey" The Globemaster featured "clamshell" loading doors and hydraulic ramps in the nose and an elevator under the aft fuselage. The first C-124 was delivered in May 1950 and became operational by then. The C-124 could carry bulky cargo like Army field vehicles such as tanks, field guns, trucks and bulldozers without requiring that they be dismantled. It could lift 33.560 kilograms (74,000 pounds) of cargo. It could also be converted into a transport capable of carrying 200 fully-equipped soldiers in its double-decked cabin or 127 litter patients and their attendants.
