Military Air Transport Service, Air Transport Command in Washington DC, United States
The Military Air Transport Service combined resources from the Air Force and Navy to provide global military transportation capabilities from 1948 to 1966.
During the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949, the Military Air Transport Service delivered essential supplies and technical parts to support operations in West Berlin.
The organization established new standards for joint military operations by merging Naval Air Transport Service and Air Transport Command into one unified structure.
The service operated numerous aircraft types including the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II and Lockheed C-133 Cargomaster for worldwide cargo and personnel transport.
Through its eighteen-year operation period, MATS transported over 10 million passengers and 7 million tons of cargo across international military routes.
