A cabin fitted with club-style chairs and furnishings sets this view apart from the plain utilitarian interiors typically shown in aircraft pictures of the period. It shows the passenger compartment of a Ford trimotor, the corrugated-metal airliner that Ford's Airplane Division built from the mid-1920s and that airlines of the era nicknamed the "Tin Goose." The image is dated to August 18, 1931, though the date is marked with a question mark in the record. Its interest lies in how the cabin was arranged to make long-distance air travel feel more like a lounge than a freight hold.
