The U.S. military has recognized the importance of strategic transport aircraft from early on, leading to development of transports such as the Globemaster. In the 1950s, they requested a larger transport aircraft from Douglas; the C-133 was developed as a four-engine turboprop with high wings, a low floor, and lamps, and in 1954, the first mass-produced aircraft flew for the first time without a prototype. In 1959, the B type, which had an extended fuselage and a rear cargo door that opened to the left and right, went into production. At that time, it was the only aircraft in the U.S. Air Force that could transport ballistic missiles, but it was retired in 1971 due to the inauguration of the C-5 Galaxy and fatigue.
Parts to build the PGM-17 Thor ballistic missile are included, as are decals. Order yours today!
