Boeing 747's in military service...

Ok, trying to find some information/pictures on 747s in military service. I know the U.S.A.F. operates a few (the E-4B for example) but I don't know about other countries. Can anyone help me out?

Military designations (ie. E-4B) and a little on what they're used for (ie. airborne reconnaisance etc.) would be great.

Cool

There’s an interior shot of the cockpit here:

Wikipedia has a few pics and some info. Check them out here:

Have you seen the book, Boeing 747-400 (AirlinerTech Series, Vol. 10) by Robert F. Dorr? It covers the civilian as well as military uses of the 747. It might be what you need.

Hope that helps.
