What's on this DVD; USAF
MATS Prop Cargo Planes
This is a DVD collection of the Early MATS USAF Prop Cargo Planes. From the C-26 Connie, to the C-97, to the good old Boxcar, to the Globemaster and the famous C-130 Hercules. These aircraft worked hard for our nations Military Air Transport Services. We hope you'll enjoy these films, we certainly did. 1st Film; "C-69 and the RC-121". The Lockheed C-69 Constellation was built in 1943 and considered the fastest airliner in the world at the time. Built in cooperation with TWA owner "Howard Hughes" the Connie went into service as the C-69. Modeled after the P-38, the Connie could reach speeds of 360 MPH. After the war, the other services used the Connie for a Radar platform named the RC-121. This is a collection of short films on both versions. Great films. Runtime 19:14 Min's. 2nd Film: "C-97 Stratofreighter". This is a USAF MATS film on "Cargo Critical". It is about getting wounded men to a hospital quickly and one way to do that was to get them back to the States From Korea. The C-97 fight the bill very well for that task. The C-97 was an enlarged B-29. We included a newsreels about the capacity of this great aircraft. Runtime 13:14 Min's 3rd Film; "C-119 and C-120 Boxcar". This to is a collection of short films on the C-82 to the C-119 and onto the C-120. The USAAF and later the USAF needed a better carrying aircraft that could load and unload on short runways. Thus the invention of the C-82. Great concept, but the C-82s airframe was to light, so Fairchild had to rebuild it as the C-119. Later they came up with the detachable containers called the C-120. Very interesting concept. In these shorts are the aircrafts, uses as paratroopers, cargo aircraft and even a Gunship to replace the C-47 goonie bird gunship in Vietnam. Runtime 9:08 Min's 4th Film; "C-123 Provider". This a Fairchild Promotional film on the YC-123H version about 9 mins. We added an extra 5 min's of newsreels on this amazing aircraft. What is really amazing was, the C-123 was originally designed as a large glider. That project never worked out. Great stuff and also a very rare film. Runtime 12:32 Min's 5th Film; "C-124 Globemaster". This is a USAF film about the mighty C-124 Globemaster being used to fly supplies to Antarctic.. Another great film. Runtime 22.:21 Min's 6th Film; "The C-130 Hercules". One of the USA's hardest working workhorse, the C-130 was a medium heavy lifter that could do almost anything our military wanted. This film is about the early development of the C-130 Hercules. We have included some newsreels of the aircraft as well. Runtime 20:33 Min's. Product No. CFDVD0092 |
