Description

The Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy was designed in the mid-1960s to transport vast quantities of materiel to any part of the globe. The result was the largest aircraft in the world. However, it became a symbol for government excess and production was limited to just 81 machines. Initial operations struggled with frequent breakdowns and, in an extraordinary move, the severely under-designed wing was replaced. Even more remarkable was the decision to reopen production after a decade for another 50 machines. Because of its incredible capacity and range, it remains indispensable. The decision has been made to refit the aircraft for decades more operation. This is the remarkable story of the Galaxy's controversial birth, climb to eminence, and quarter century of service.

Unique missions such as airdrop are shown in rare photographs and drawings, with hundreds of other illustrations appealing to modelers and historians.
