    I think this is a C-54 Skymaster [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kukulu21/3376411308/]

    Wrong. This is the much bigger C-74 Cargomaster!

    This specific aircraft was transferred from the USAAF as a C-54D Skymaster (ex-USAAF 42-72728) to the Marines as a Douglas R5D-3.

    to straighten it up a bit you might have also said it this was R5D-3 Douglas (C-54D Skymaster ex-USAAF 42-72728) PC(4) USMC KW
