NEW TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT FOR THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE.—These four fan-jet air transports, seen on the Lockheed-Georgia Company flight line at Marietta, Georgia, could carry more than 600 troops or more than 125 tons of military supplies non-stop from the United States to Africa or Europe. The four planes soon will be joined by a fifth for a year’s flight testing. The sixth will be delivered to the Air Force for training later this year. The aircraft are designed for military and commercial freight service.
