Douglas C-124 Globemaster II - Long Beach's Long Reach
NEW
The C-124 served the United States Air Force for 25 years, transporting cargo and passengers across all seven continents. Known as the "Globie" by enthusiasts, it was designed to meet the U.S. Army's need for a large airlifter with intercontinental range, capable of carrying essential equipment and nuclear weapons. It also played a key role in humanitarian missions and routine airlift operations. Operating at lower altitudes due to its unpressurized cabin, the C-124 often faced engine malfunctions, requiring skilled pilots to ensure safe landings. Experienced technicians regularly restored the aircraft to flying condition. Bridging the gap between World War II designs and the jet age of the 1960s, the C-124 influenced airlift procedures still used today. Retired in 1974, the C-124 left a lasting legacy.
This book explores its history, contributions, and impact on military aviation.
