Aug. 15, 1953 - First time in Germany: The Goliath of America. Yesterday the Frankfurt airport welcomed the XC-99, the largest airplane in the world, from Kelly, Texas. The XC-99, with its 25 man crew completed its first 6,170 mile, 31 hour long transatlantic flight. This plane, built in 1948, unites many superlatives together. She can haul, with a non-stop range of 8,000 miles at a speed of 300 miles, 50 tons of cargo, a cargo equivalent to 400 full-equipped troops in a mission of war.She has a wingspan of 67 meters, is 53 meters long, and her tailwing juts 17 meters in the air. She can fly over 10,000 meters high with six 3,500 MPS motors. Tomorrow, we will again lose this” flying warehouse” and it will, with two stops, return home.
