History: The full scale L-10 was designed by Hall Hibbard for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in 1934 as the first all metal, production aircraft, that was intended to compete in the airliner market. The impressive aircraft, being flown by Jimmy Doolittle, broke the speed record from Chicago to New Orleans by over 2 hours! The sweet flying, advanced aircraft was considered the foothold aircraft that boosted Delta as an airline. The model 10E was the last production variant, of which only fifteen were produced, from which five were used by the US military as the UC-36B, and one was specially modified for Amelia Earhart’s attempt to fly around the world in 1937, and was lost somewhere near Howland Island, in the Pacific.
