HISTORY:
Conceived as an air transport for American ICBMs, the C-133
Cargomaster was developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company and first
flown on 23 April 1956. The cargo compartment (90 feet in length
and 12 feet high) was pressurized, heated, and ventilated. The
Cargomasters went directly into production as C-133A; no prototypes
were built. The first C-133As were delivered in August 1957. A total of
35 were built: the last three having a "clamshell" rear door assembly
which increased the compartment length by 3 feet, making it possible to
airlift completely assembled Titan missiles. These were followed by 15
C-133B aircraft that retained the "clamshell" doors and incorporated
more powerful engines. In 1958, C-133s began flying MATS air routes
throughout the world, and two C-133s established transatlantic speed
records for transport aircraft on their first flights to Europe. The
fleet of 50 aircraft proved itself invaluable during the Vietnam War,
but fatigue problems led to their withdrawal from service in 1971.
