Northrop Monoplane, Card No 37 (JPAeroplanes 1935)

Civilian Aircraft 1935 (John Player)

Card No. 37  : The NORTHROP MONOPLANE (U.S.A.)

The Northrop monoplanes are single-engined commercial aeroplanes of high performance. The "Alpha" illustrated is an all-metal machine carrying six passengers. The "Delta" which carries eight passengers at about 200 mph., is one of the most recent types of American transport machines and is likely to be used in the form of a freight and mail carrier, the Northrop "Gamma," and as such has a considerably improved performance. In this type the pilot is situated at the rear end of the fuselage with the mail compartment in front of him.
