c'est spartiate dedans, mais pour 1929, il devait être très moderne ! principale concurrent du boeing 247 et du douglas dc1(qui est venu après )

@Lockbar And I cannot imagine a B-17 Flying Fortress being much quieter than a tri-motor either!!! Despite being quite a few years newer.

@Lockbar No kidding!! I'm TOTALLY surprised thar the people in this video (except the pilot & copilot) were not COMPLETELY stone deaf by the end of the flight!!! I didn't see anyone wearing earplugs!!!' and there was NO soundproofing material whatsoever in a tri-motor!!! OUCH!!! PAINFULLY DEAFENING for me!!!

@ford9572 When I was 8 years old my dad who was a pilot took me the EAA convention when they were in Rockford Illinois, back in 1962 or '63. We took a ride in a tri-motor, probably this same one. The biggest part of the ride I can remember was the NOISE! It was super loud.

I wonder if the roar of those radial engines was too deafening for that little boy's ears or not.
-
the one i rode in had the original bench seats -room for double the passengers of this version , with about a 12" wide aisle down the middle - room to sidle sideways down the aisle
-
Id love a nice plane trip in one of these =3
-
it can fly with one motor stalled XD
I'm sure there's PLENTY of room on Dave's Farm for 1 of these!!!

It is a REAL thi-motor! Flying! People Inside!
Takes off really smoothly and landing is the same, speed low like an monoped.
