The Douglas C-54 Skymaster was a four-engined transport
aircraft used by the United States Army Air Forces in World
War II and the Korean War. Like the Douglas C-47 Skytrain,
the C-54 Skymaster was derived from a civilian airliner, the
Douglas DC-4. Besides transport of cargo, the C-54 also
carried presidents, prime ministers, and military staff.
Dozens of variants of the C-54 were employed in a wide
variety of non-combat roles such as air-sea rescue,
scientific and military research, and missile tracking and
recovery.
During the Berlin Airlift it hauled coal and food supplies to
West Berlin. After the Korean War it continued to be used for
military and civilian uses by more than 30 countries. This
was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the
United States.
This clock can be personalized to honor the C-54 Skytrain
"Spirit of Freedom" from the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949.
