[edit intro]

Air Force One is the term used to identify any aeroplane on which the President of the United States is flying. It is an official call sign used by air traffic control.

President Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to fly Air Force One (designated VC-54A) when he flew to the Yalta Conference aboard a Douglas C-54 Skymaster which was built for presidential use. The Spymaster had a conference room, state room and bathroom. The plane had a bullet-proof picture window. To accommodate Roosevelt there was an elevator added to help him enter and exit the plane.
