A U.S. Air Force Lockheed C-141 Starlifter banks over arid Southwestern terrain in this in-flight photograph. Entering service in 1965, the C-141 became the backbone of American strategic airlift, ferrying troops, cargo, and equipment worldwide for the Military Airlift Command throughout the Cold War, Vietnam era, and beyond, and this image likely originates from early testing or publicity photography of the type.
