DC-4 Skymaster är ett 4-motorigt propellerplan tillverkat av Douglas som flög första gången 1938 och tillverkades i 1242 exemplar. Beteckningen inom US Air Force var C-54 Skymaster, inom US Navy R5D. Tillverkningen lades ner 1947.
ATL-98 Carvair
Totalt 21 stycken DC-4:or byggdes senare om till ATL-98 Carvair, som flög första gången 1961. De byggdes av Aviation Traders enligt önskemål ifrån British United Airways och liknar AN-30 och Boeing 747 i kroppsformen.
Carvair var byggd för att frakta upp till 5 mindre bilar, som lastades in via nospartiet, samt 22 passagerare. Bland annat Aer Lingus använde också detta plan.

Air-to-air with a Falcon Airways Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair.jpg

Air-to-air with a Falcon Airways Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair. Original description: Working at Southend Airport in the 'Seventies produced some great opportunities. Just before N80FA departed on its ferry flight to Texas, I was able to fix up an air-to-air session from Cessna 172 G-ATLN. We flew as fast as possible, the Carvair as slow as it could with everything down. I can still hear those P&Ws roaring over the sound of my open window and the general racket in the Cessna. I even sold my car to one of the Falcon directors who duly loaded and flew home to the States with it - truly Car-via-air as Freddie Laker originally intended. This aircraft crashed in Alaska in 1997 as N103; another of the few remaining Carvairs suffered a similar fate up there in May 2007, so now only two survive.
