Boeing 247 model airplane

On February 8, 1933, Boeing first flew the prototype of the Model 247. A revolutionary aircraft, the Boeing 247 has since become regarded as a prototype for the modern airliner, for it was a clean cantilever low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction with twin-engine powerplant, retractable landing gear, and accommodations for a pilot, co-pilot, stewardess, and 10 passengers. With one engine inoperative it could climb and maintain altitude with a full load, and introduced a new feature for a civil transport aircraft by being equipped with pneumatic de-icing boots on wing, tailplane, and fin leading edges to prevent ice accretion from reaching a dangerous level. When the US became involved in WWII, 27 of these aircraft were impressed for service with the USAAF under the designation C-73. When they were no longer required in late 1944, they were returned to civil airline service.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
