Douglas C-54 Skymaster Transport Aircraft on Tarmac, Keesler Field, 1946
A four-engine Air Transport Command aircraft, likely a Douglas C-54 Skymaster, rests on the ramp at Keesler Field in 1946. Ground crew personnel and support vehicles are visible near the hangar, reflecting the immediate postwar transition of American air bases from wartime operations to peacetime service and VIP transport duties.
