I did some more reading, being sparked by this thread. Def an interesting and groundbreaking aircraft. It was also the first plane to do an in flight refuel of another airplane. I always thought the 'Ford' in tri motor was because it had Ford motors! There are only about 8 still flying, which stands to reason why I have never seen one.
