C-87 is a military cargo aircraft developed by Consolidated Aircraft Corporation during World War II. It was an improved version of the B-24 Liberator bomber, featuring a larger cargo bay capable of carrying up to 20,000 pounds of cargo. The C-87 was used by the United States Army Air Forces and the Royal Air Force for transport and cargo missions. It was also used as a transport for high-ranking officials, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, the C-87 suffered from technical problems and was difficult to fly, leading to a high number of accidents and fatalities. Ultimately, the C-87 was not considered a successful aircraft and was eventually replaced by more capable cargo planes after the war.
