The Antonov An-74 is a military transport aircraft that was designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in cooperation with six other countries. The main goal for this project was to create a plane that could fly over long distances, but also take off and land on short runways.

The Douglas C-74 Globemaster was a heavy-lift cargo transport developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The aircraft was powered by four Pratt and Whitney R-4360-69 Wasp Major rated at 3,250 horsepower each.

The An-74 is a Ukrainian transport two-engine aircraft, developed by the Antonov Design Bureau. The An-74 was initially an upgrade of the An-72 test aircraft, intended to be used in the Arctic and had the designation An-72A “Arctic”.

After all production modifications were made, the C-74 Globemaster was the largest land-based transport in the world! It was a cantilever low-wing monoplane of all metal construction, with a conventional tail unit, retractable tricycle landing gear with twin wheels on each unit, and four Pratt & Whitney radial engines.
