| Boeing’s revolutionary 247 was the world’s first all-metal monocoque airliner. And the first to feature retractable landing gear, cantilever wings and variable pitch propellers. In 1933, carrying ten passengers plus crew, it cut 7 hours off the flight time from LA to New York. Now, this majestic liner has been hand-carved from solid mahogany. Painted by hand in United Air Lines livery. And mounted on a beautiful tri-color wooden base with plaque. |
