BOEING C-97 STRATOFREIGHTER

$9.95

Titles: Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter No’s 1 to 4

The C-97 was a transport version of the Boeing B-29 bomber, using the entire wing and powerplants of that aircraft, and the first variant first flew in 1944. Production versions were developed using the engines and empennage of the later B-50, and were principally used for aerial refueling duties, although examples were used as Aerial Command Posts, VIP transports, test-beds, etc.

The aircraft could carry 16 tons of freight and had clamshell doors beneath the tail to allow drive-on loading, but these could not be opened in flight. The C-97 was the first mass produced transport to feature pressurisation. 888 examples of several variants had been built when production ended in 1956 and these remained in service with Air National Guard units until the early 70’s.

We offer four titles for various marks of the Boeing C-97. Each file has been scanned from the original flight manuals and retains any colour pages, unless otherwise stated. Each title is US$9.95.
