The Douglas C-54 was powered by four Pratt and Whitney R-2000 radial piston engines, each generating 1,100 to 1,450 horsepower, depending on the model1234. These engines allowed the C-54 to cruise at about 240 mph with a maximum speed of 275 mph2. The C-54 Skymaster had an impressive range and could ferry substantial cargo over long distances3.
The Douglas C-54 Skymaster is 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 derived from the DC-3, 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. It was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the United States, the first being President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II.
The Douglas DC-4 is an American four-engined (piston), propeller-driven airliner developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Military versions of the plane, the C-54 and R5D, served during World War II, in the Berlin Airlift and into the 1960s. From 1945, many civil airlines operated the DC-4 worldwide.

What a beautiful aircraft, just a gorgeous old classic prop plane. She was built between May 1942 and August 1947, a long time ago, so wonderful to see her in such beautiful condition after so many years, at least 77 years old!! Amazing!! ❤❤

There is no point to such a video recorded with a stupid phone. You can't hear anything but the wind. It might as well be the sound of a sewing machine.
In my description I stated It was extremely windy, dark & cold that day & was not recorded with a phone and it was also recorded back in 2013. Thank you for watching and for your support I will check out your videos that you have.
