Boeing 307 Stratoliner - Luxury Pioneer Stainless Steel Tumbler

The Boeing 307 Stratoliner, a shining jewel of aviation history, marked the dawn of a new era as the world's first pressurized commercial airliner. Taking to the skies in the late 1930s, this remarkable aircraft introduced passengers to the comfort of high-altitude travel free from the turbulence often found at lower levels. With a cruising speed of about 220 mph and a range of 1,750 miles, the Stratoliner was a game-changer. It boasted a capacity for 33 passengers and a crew of five, setting the standard for luxury air travel with features such as a sleeper configuration and a separate dining area. Operated by airlines like TWA and Pan American World Airways, the Stratoliner played a pivotal role in pioneering routes over the North Atlantic. Despite its limited production run, with only 10 units built, the Boeing 307's legacy endures as a testament to innovation and luxury in the golden age of aviation.
