More info about this plane:
The C-54 was built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. The C-54 was the military version of the Douglas DC-4 commercial transport. It was the first four-engine transport to enter U. S. Army Air Force service. The aircraft in the photograph is a C-54M and is the last surviving “M” model in existence. Only thirty eight M model C-54 were manufactured. The aircraft in the photograph was specially modified during the Berlin Airlift for hauling coal.

The Great Seal can be traced to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It would also be featured on early U.S. flags, such as this handsome example.
This C-5A was involved in the USAF Air Mobile Feasibility Test when she dropped an 86,000 lb ICBM from 20k feet over the Pacific Ocean. Also, this is the first C-5A to be retired.

C-9 is the military version of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 airliner. The C-9, known as the Nightingale, was developed to serve as an aero medical evacuation (medevac) aircraft.
The B-17G at the Air Mobility Command Museum was built in 1944, too late to serve in World War II. For most of its service time, the aircraft was used for secret U. S. Air Force projects, and in experimental and developmental projects. In 1957, the aircraft was retired from active military service.
