There was a Flying Boxcar like my father used to point out to me when I was a child before they made the Hercules or the C5A. I think the Hercules took over for the Flying boxcar along with the Gigantic C5A Galaxy. I have stood inside a Galaxy C5A with my kids at an Air show in the past. It's really huge enough to carry several tanks or armored personel carriers or many troops there are seats all along the left and right of the main fuselage so you can carry heavier cargo in the center of the plane.
The Flying Boxcar was in the 2022 Jurassic World Movie I watched again with my wife tonight.

The C-119 Flying Boxcar was developed shortly after World War II
to carry heavy loads of cargo, paratroopers or medical patients. Its
wide rear doors and a fuselage parallel to the ground made it easy to
load and unload. It first flew in 1947.
