A description of the flying boat reads like fiction. It is equipped with sleeping quarters and de luxe cabins, with Pullman berths in the wings and a lounge arid dining room. The cabins have hot and cold running water. A galley enables stewards to serve regular meals, The aeroplane has three decks—a "bridge deck" for flying officers, 2 main deck for passengers with ramps extending into the wings and a cargo hold below, divided into water-tight compartments running the length of the ship.
Its fuel tanks alone carry fifteen tons of gasolene and oil, and the double-row fourteen cylinder "Cyclone" motors are connected with the operating bridge by catwalks through the wings. It is believed the first time in the history of aeroplane building that direct access to mechanical plants has been provided—United Press.
