This early American airliner was composed of aluminum construction and had retractable landing gear for less drag. It also had some recently made features such as de-icing boots and autopilot. Built in 1933 and a number of 75 built, this plane came after Boeing’s military designs. Their B-9 was a main basis of the design. It couldn’t fly too high since pressurized cabins were introduced 7 years after it’s release. Recently, the last flying one made its final flight. So, no more are flying. :(

It's amazing! It is missing one key characteristic of the 247, though. Yours can't fly with an engine failure.
Beautiful!
