| In 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt created an office to provide air transportation for the president and his staff. Various propeller-driven planes were used until 1962, when the first jet aircraft, a Boeing 707, was purchased and given the name Air Force One. Nowadays, the presidential fleet is maintained by the Air Force and consists of two Boeing 747 jets--both of which can be called Air Force One, depending on whether the president is on board. |
