The Monomail (two built) was designed as a technology demonstrator for all-metal low winged commercial aircraft. Initially intended for mail operations, but here modified with an enlarged cabin for eight passengers. Lessons from this design led to the twin-engined Model 247 in 1933. Photo obtained from Boeing.
