Historical Significance
The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster was a large-capacity strategic transport developed for the U.S. Air Force. The aircraft entered service in the late 1950s and supported long-range military airlift, including the movement of unusually large and heavy cargo.
Douglas built 35 C-133A and 15 C-133B aircraft before production ended in 1961. The reference wrapper’s December 1960 date marking places this stocked component within the Cargomaster’s production period.
