I took my first flying lesson at the age of 13, and one of my dreams is to fly a Model 40! Excellent story and video! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I read about this restoration a couple of years ago. Man, what an accomplishment. Like finding a P38 in the jungle 60 years later, I imagine about only the data plate was salvageable ;-). Or in this case the landing gear, too.
Anyone wanting to get an idea of what early commercial aviation was like, find the movie the Aviator starring Christopher Reeve. Not the later one with deCaprio. My hat's off both to the restorers and the pilots who flew these 80 years ago.
I've heard that Boeing was a german immigrant or kid of german immigrants. Is that right?
