article.Pan American canceled its order in October 1945.The 1 hour and 35 minute flight was from Long Beach Municipal Airport and the crew reported the aircraft handled "with characteristic ease".They shortened the aircraft's landing role and saved brake wear.Low drag airfoil sections were used to cover the
16 protruding flap hinges, giving the aircraft a distinctive 'toothed' look.The engineer's station was behind the copilot, the radio operator was stationed behind the pilot and the navigator was stationed behind him.Hydraulic pressure was only applied to gear after take off in order to retract the gear.Air Force Service and Operations:
Of the 14 Globemasters built, 12 were delivered between October 1945 and April 1947.Of these 14, the second built crashed during flight testing in August 1946.This was done inorder to determine the individual component's ability to withstand design loads.They were attached to the 554th AAF Base Unit located in Memphis, Tennessee.The 554th was a part of the Air Transport Command.Cassady was put in charge of the project and Maj.Lorris Moomaw temporarily commanded the new squadron.Air Material Command was especially anxious to see the results of the squadron's use of the aircraft.In March, a Globemaster was flown to Pope Field, North Carolina for inspection and flight testing by the Troop Carrier Command to determine the airplane's adaptability as a troop carrier.The inspecting board of six officers had a favorable impression of the airplane.In May, an aircraft was flown to Churchill, Manitoba to assist in cargo operations on the 'Beetle Project' to Cambridge Bay, Victoria Island, Canada.Humanitarian missions flown in 1947 included flood relief to Florida, and Hurricane relief for the southern area of the U.Of these, all of the Globemasters were assigned to the Atlantic Division.It had operational jurisdicition over the East Coast of the U.Also, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean were included in the Atlantic Division.Three weeks later on June 24th, the Russians closed all land routes into the divided western sectors of the city of Berlin.On the 25th, the Air Force was requested to airlift 25 tons of supplies into Berlin.It responded the next day with over 80 tons, thus begining what was to become the largest single airlift operation in history.Operation Vittles' later to be known as the Berlin Airlift was a distinct operation in which the Globemaster played a significant part of helping to introduce the need of large transport aircraft.Main Airfield on the 14th of August and landed for the first time on the 17th at Berlin's Gatow Airfield carrying 20 tons of flour.Several airlift records were set by the crew in 414 during Operation Vittles.On September 18th, Air Force Day, the crew flew six round trips into Berlin hauling a total of 250,000 pounds of caol setting a new Airlift Task Force utilization record by flying 20 hours during the 24 hour effort.During the construction of Tegel airfield in the French sector of Berlin, large construction equipment was needed to build new runways.After six weeks of Vittles flights, the Globemaster returned to Brookley AFB.Reportedly, the Russians complained that the Globemaster could be used as a a bomber via the open elevator well.The fact that the runways in Berlin were not stressed for the airlifter's weight and the aircraft was not compatible with the corridor's scheduling were other factors considered for it's withdrawl.With one plane which could do
the work of three, all of our major problems
would have been proportionally reduced.Other flights were the 'Panamanian' runs between and the Brookley and Albrook Field, Balboa, Canal Zone and the 'Puerto Rican' mission from Brookley to Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico.Operations in 1949 included more records set for speed and tonnage.The 'Goliath' flights continued as well as the 'Panamanian' and the 'Puerto Rican' flights into the Caribbean.The Jonathan' mission operaed three times a week to
Anchorage, Alaska with intermediate stops at Kelly AFB, Texas, McClellan AFB, California, and McChord AFB, Washington.During the seven months between July 1950 and January 1951, the Globemasters transported 2,486 patients, 550 passengers, and 128,000 pounds of cargo from Hawaii to the U.The aircraft averaged utilization rates over 10 hours a day.Flights now included 28 scheduled trips to Tripoli and three to Iceland.One nontop flight from Keflavik, Iceland to Brookley AFB was made in under 19 hours, a distinct accomplishment during 1951.Globemaster II was delivered from the factory joining the 1258th Air Transport Squadron (ATS).Tripoli, 18 flights to Casablance and 7 to Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico.Two flights to Tripoli were even extended to Khartoum in late February in order to transport a group of scientists and technichians to record an eclipse of the sun.Due to the shortage of propeller parts and engines, the Group received authorization from Continental Division Headquarters to reduce the aircraft's utilization rate to six hours per day.This allowed fo an increase in the needed
maintenance hours.Squadron, now the 6th ATS, continued their logistic support flights to North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, the Caribbean, and within the U.SAC also continued to use the Globemasters to rotate Medium Bombardment Groups on temporary duty in England and North Africa.Operations during 1953 through 1955 saw the aircraft's utilization rate gradually lower due to increased maintenance 'downtime' caused by the shortage of parts and an influx of untrained personnel as maintainers.These mishaps significantly lowered the squadron's utilization rate.Modernization', seemingly signaling a continued use and modernization of the aircraft.Plans were made for the eventual retirement of the Air Force's only fleet of Globemasters.They accomplished this despite being grounded twice during this periode due to failers in their fuel selector valves and elevator pins.Before the end of June, the 6th ATS was merged with the 3rd ATS and was flying operational missions with them.Brookley AFB while the group waited for instructions as to the disposition of the aircraft.
