Classic aeroplanes in the early 50s
CV-240 of the Central Air Transport was the state-of-the-art aircraft after the 50s. It was a propeller plane, but the most awesome of all was its ability to run backward on the land. Its propeller was capable of generating reverse thrust, so the plane could move backward. All the people were eager to take a photo of it.
