This BOEING Stratoliner was a Large Aircraft...
"If the 1930s built the bones of the industry, the 1940s were when aviation truly began to flex its muscles, soaring higher, farther and faster than ever before. Here is what it was like to fly in the 1940s."

These Specs are for the 1938 Model 307 Stratoliner.
First flight: December 31, 1938
Model number: SA-307B and C-75

And it was a Pressurized Airliner at that time. I think maybe a First for Boeing creating aircraft.
