That’s quite an airplane compared to the AA hopper I flew from Chicago to (some little town I don’t recall the name of) Wisconsin. There was NO separation between the flight station and the rest of the plane. It was all just one barrel with seats inside and wings outside. The thing shook and rattled like dice on a crap table and there was no way you could hear anything but the airplane. It was quite a ride!
Single engine or dual engine? I flew a single engine from New Haven CT to La Guardia in New York City. But that airplane could boogie. I watched several of the same type take off while waiting for mine. It had a ground roll of about 100-150 yards, and then it didn't so much pitch up as go up like an elevator. STOL is what that sort of thing is called, Short Takeoff Or Landing.
