Built as VC-54C USAAF s/n 42-107451. This was the first a/c outfitted for presidential use. It was used once by Franklin Roosevelt, that being his flight to Yalta and back in 1945. On that flight it was marked with a false serial number on the vertical fin. The a/c has been restored to the markings for that flight. Later used by President Harry Truman from 1945 through 1947 when it was replaced by a VC-118. This photo was taken in the old presidential a/c hangar (the a/c were wedged in, not good for photography!). Now on display in the new Presidential Gallery in the main museum.
