That announcer's voice, that dialogue and that music! OMG did you see that fabulous airborne cuisine? A great airline video of travel aboard the first pressurized airliner.
Pre-War Commercial sibling of the Flying Fortress. Bigger diameter fuselage and pressurized. When the B-17s original skinny ''swoose'' tail proved inadequate for combat stability, they took the whale tail off this beast, and it worked. I also see the bullet-nosed greenhouse of the B-29 in the 307's nose. After the bloody face the Douglas DC-2 and 3 gave the chisel-nosed B-- 247, they weren't making that mistake again. One Buck Rogers nose, please.
Impossible to imagine how nice it would be, or how expensive it would be, to have a sleeping berth that has curtains and uses the space of 8 passenger seats.
Absolute pure pleasure I bet it was to fly in that aircraft with a great airline in TWA, my the good ole days, I would of loved to have flown in that at that time in our history. It was a modern version of the now "sleeper seats" on today's aircraft. How cool was that to lie down fully in a bed your and your child's what a way to fly.............
I somehow love those era of music, the narration and presentation.....Life are simple back then. Earth is cleaner back then, cool air scoop from the air above the clouds are fresh... I doubt the air nowadys are that fresh...
You said the pilots are MEN!! I am SO triggered by your statement! You should have described the pilots as penetrating persons, or inseminating persons. Get with the times man!! LOL

Fantastic passenger plane, and one of the most beautiful planes of all they’ve ever flown 🤗👏👏👏👏🙂
Great video.
I remember seeing this bird at Pima Air Museum years ago before it was restored and moved to the air and space museum.

WOW! Now, that was flying in style!

Noiseless?!?
Four radial piston engines?
*I doubt it!*

Whipped cream collapses at 8000’. Good to know. Actually a neat video!
makes me wanna be a pilot.
"Noiseless" comfort?
The remark about the 4 engines being more powerful than the largest locomotive is quite a stretch
Oh gee thats swell!!
developed from the B-17 bomber.
beau!tiful
Oi
'Better living thru science'!...😊
Appropriately enough, the background music is the tune "Beyond the Blue Horizon".
When was the last one built and how many in total were built if anyone knows? It wasn't clear in Wikipedia. TY in advance.
So that's what a supercharger does.
Not what i expected
Not the same as power for the engine. In this Instance compresses air for cabin pressurization.
1:38 that Aircraft not have Autopilot ?
It had a gyropilot. Same thing.
Haha that was the old days. Now we have much faster travel with knees under our chin comfort for under $200. Hey who’s the winner now 1930s???
