On Dec. 18 of that year, The Times announced that this “controversial C-5 transport, with a cargo area longer than the flight by the Wright Brothers’ tiny plane 66 years ago, was formally turned over to the Air Force today on the anniversary of powered flight.” Photo: George Tames/The New York Times -- source link
