This Douglas C-54 is located directly south of the Luftbrückendenkmal Memorial dedicated to the Berlin Airlift and the aviators who sacrificed their lives during the operation. It is in a small grassy are between Ellis Road and the A5 highway.  Combat Vehicle This silver Douglas C-54 features the Air Force star insignia near its tail end and a red lighting bolt design that runs the length of the plane on both sides. Additionally, the plane is marked with the label "Troop Carrier" and features its name, "Rosinen Bomber," just behind the cockpit. The name "Rosinen Bomber" comes from the German word for "raisin," a reference to the candy and raisins that were dropped by crews participating in the airlift. Like the C-47, the C-54 was originally designed and constructed as a passenger plan but was transformed into a troop carrier with a capacity of 49 soldiers during World War II. During the Berlin Airlift, the C-54 was fitted to transport coal. Additionally, the C-54 is known as the first version of Air Force One, a title which it earned by transporting President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Yalta.
