The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster was a large military transport aircraft used by the U.S Air Force. The Cargomaster had a 13,000 cubic foot cargo area with floor tie-down facilities permitting installation of 200 airline-type seats. The C-133 could accommodate 110,000 pounds of cargo or a fully-assembled Thor, Jupiter or Atlas ballistic missile. Cargo was loaded via a two-section rear door assembly, the lower section formed a ramp for drive-on/drive-off capability, or by a cargo door on the port side of the forward fuselage.

The C-133 Cargomaster made its maiden flight on April 23, 1956, when Douglas test pilots J.G. Armstrong and Frank C. Boyer flew the new transport from Long Beach to Edwards Air Force Base for Phase I and Phase II evaluations. Exhaustive testing, evaluation, and some design refinements eventually resulted in a combat support aircraft that served war fighters well into the Vietnam era.
