V Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter je bilo velikoletno težko vojaško tovorno letalo, razvito iz bombnikov B-29 in B-50. Oblikovanje se je začelo leta 1942, prvi od 3 prototipov XC-97 je letel 9. novembra 1944 (noben ni videl boja), prvi od 6 servisnih testnih YC-97 pa je letel 11. marca 1947. Vse te so temeljile na 24ST zliti strukturi in Wright R-3350 motorjev B-29, vendar z zgornjim režnjem trupa večjega premera (kar je številka osem ali "dvojni mehurček") in so imeli navpični rep B-29 z odtisnjenim položajem tonerjev. Med letoma 1944 in 1958 je bilo zgrajenih 888 C-97 v več različicah, 811 pa tankerji KC-97. C-97 so služili v berlinskem zračnem prevozu, korejski vojni in vietnamski vojni.

Več informacij:

The Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter was a long-range heavy military cargo aircraft developed from the B-29 and B-50 bombers. It was designed to transport troops, equipment, and supplies across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans during the Cold War era. The C-97 had a distinctive double-deck fuselage with a lower deck that could accommodate up to 134 passengers or 35,000 pounds of cargo. The upper deck contained the flight deck and crew quarters. The C-97 was powered by four Pratt & Whitney R-4360 radial engines, each producing 3,500 horsepower.
The C-97 had a maximum speed of 375 miles per hour and a range of 4,400 miles. The C-97 entered service with the United States Air Force in 1947 and was used extensively in the Berlin Airlift, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The C-97 also served as the basis for several variants, including the KC-97 tanker, the C-135 Stratolifter, and the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser airliner. The C-97 was retired from active duty in 1978 and is now preserved in several museums around the world.
