Franklin D. Roosevelt, commonly known by his initials FDR, was President of the United States during the 1940s.
In 1943, Roosevelt became the first President to travel in an airplane, aboard a Boeing 314 "flying boat." In 1944, he switched to flying aboard a C-54 Skymaster dubbed "The Sacred Cow," establishing the tradition of each President having their own dedicated aircraft. (24: The Ultimate Guide)
