The [[Douglas Aircraft Company|Douglas]] '''C-54 Skymaster''' was a four-engined transport aircraft used by the [[United States Army Air Forces]] in [[World War II]]. Like the [[C-47 Skytrain]], the C-54 Skymaster was derived from a civilian airliner (the [[Douglas DC-4]]). C-54s began service with the USAAF in [[1942]], carrying up to 26 passengers. (Later versions carried up to 50 passengers.) The U.S. Navy also acquired the type, under the designation '''R5D'''. The C-54 was one of the most commonly used transports by the U.S. armed forces in World War II. 515 C-54s were manufactured in [[Santa Monica, CA]] and 655 were manufactured in [[Chicago, Illinois]].
After World War II, the C-54 continued to serve as the primary airlifter of the new [[United States Air Force]] and one assignment was with the [[Strategic Air Command]] with the 1st Air Transport Unit (21 March 1946 - 21 December 1948), later renamed 1st Strategic Support Squadron (21 December 1948 - June 1959) and the 2nd Strategic Support Squadron (21 December 1948 - 15 Jun 1961). The last C-54 was phased out of SAC was a C-54D in 1975 from the 100th Strategic Recvonnaissance Wing.
