The KC-97L Stratofreighter was a pivotal mid-air refueling aircraft used by the United States Air Force during the Cold War era. Derived from the Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter, it featured extended wings and upgraded engines to support its role as a tanker. With a capability to refuel multiple aircraft simultaneously, including strategic bombers like the B-52, the KC-97L played a crucial role in extending the operational range of American air power worldwide. Its robust design and adaptability made it a cornerstone of aerial refueling operations, contributing significantly to strategic deterrence and global military mobility during its service from the 1950s to the 1970s.
