The 737 family covers the 110- to 200-seat range and is the most popular commercial plane ever with more than 5,000 produced in nearly four decades. Another moron who shouldn't be writing aviation stories. Over 13,000 DC-3s were produced, just to name one.

It's a common mistake. He should have said "commercial jets."

But that includes military variants, not just commercial sales. Also at only about 21 passengers per DC-3, the 737 fleet probably far surpassed the DC-3 in the total number of passengers carried, even with the DC-3 being around some 60+ years.
