Douglas C-124 Globemaster II Bella + Canvas Hoodie

The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II, affectionately known as 'Old Shaky,' was a pivotal heavy-lift cargo aircraft that served the United States Air Force from the early 1950s through the 1970s. With its distinctive bulbous nose and cavernous cargo hold, the C-124 was capable of transporting tanks, trucks, and troops across vast distances, playing a crucial role during the Cold War era. Its four piston engines and double-decked layout allowed for the transportation of over 200 troops or more than 68,000 pounds of cargo. The Globemaster II was not just a workhorse; it was a symbol of American military might and logistical capability, participating in numerous humanitarian missions and strategic airlifts around the globe. Its ability to operate from remote and underdeveloped airstrips made it an invaluable asset in projecting power and providing aid. The legacy of 'Old Shaky' lives on as a testament to the ingenuity and spirit of mid-20th-century American aviation.
