The Air Express was a parasol-winged development of the Vega. The eighth and last example was built for a transatlantic flight by Laura Ingalls. She used it for a voyage through South America instead. Photo likely taken before she changed to a Lockheed 9D Orion, NC14222, late in 1934. The Air Express became NC974Y, see other photo.
