The Douglas C-118 Liftmaster, a derivative of the successful DC-6 airliner, served as a long-range transport aircraft for the U.S. Air Force and other branches of the military. With its spacious interior and powerful engines, the C-118 played vital roles in passenger transport, cargo hauling, and even VIP duties. It saw service throughout the Cold War and beyond.
