Derived from the commercial DC-4 airliner, the C-54 Skymaster was a workhorse transport aircraft for both the United States Army and the United States Navy branches of service.

The C-54 Skymaster was the first transoceanic four-engine transport to see service with the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The plane first flew in February 1942 under the designation C-54, before introduction of the civilian version. Wartime production totaled 953 aircraft, the largest transport to be mass-produced during World War II. The Army Air Forces bought a total of 952, while the U.S.

C-54s began service with the US Army Air Forces in 1942, carrying up to 26 passengers. The C-54 was one of the most commonly used long-range transports by the U.S. armed forces in World War II. 515 C-54s were manufactured in Santa Monica, California and 655 were manufactured in Chicago, Illinois. The C-54 was the personal aircraft of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Douglas MacArthur, and Winston Churchill (along with an Avro York). The C-54 was also used by the Royal Air Force, the Armée de l'Air, and the armed forces of at least twelve other nations.

After World War II, the C-54 continued to serve as the primary airlifter of the new United States Air Force and with the United States Navy.
