There have been multiple Air Force Ones made for different presidents, but the first one was made in between 1938 and 1941 for Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was the first president to fly in an aircraft. This plane is on display at the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio, and you are allowed to walk through it, and even look at the little elevator they used to get him in and out of the plane in his wheelchair.

Name of president's Jet?
The plane used to transport the President is always called Air Force One, irrespective of which particular plane he's in. It is generally a Boeing 747-200 modified with special equipment such in-flight refueling. To be more technical, it is Air Force One if he is on an Air Force Plane, Marine One when he is on the helicopter, or Navy One if he is on a Navy plane. The "one" gives the aircraft priority in aviation hierarchy (the smaller the number, the higher the priority).
