    This is the Dayton Wright-FP-2. It never flew with those pusher engines. They were changed to tractor engines before it was flyable.

    That looks like a Handley Page H.P. 42 “Hannibal”. A good aeroplane, slow but safe for the 1930s. It had good performance, with 38 or 40 passenger capacity, and was used on Far East routes.
