EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force (USAF) Douglas C-124C-DL Globemaster II with the registration number 51-0167 (msn 43501), assigned to the 63rd Troop Carrier Wing at Prestwick Airport on March 19, 1965. The obsolete designation "O-10167" marked on the aircraft indicates that it was part of the older inventory in the USAF during the 1950s and 1960s. The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II was a versatile military transport aircraft, capable of carrying troops, cargo, and even helicopters. Its distinctive hump-backed design and large propellers made it a recognizable presence in the skies during the Cold War era. This image captures the C-124C-DL as it sits on the tarmac at Prestwick Airport, with its engines idling and crew members visible around the aircraft. The mood is one of calm efficiency, as the aircraft prepares for its next mission. The C-124 Globemaster II served the USAF faithfully for over two decades, providing vital transport capabilities during peacetime and in various conflicts. Its retirement from service marked the end of an era in military aviation history. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique glimpse into the past of aviation and military history.
