It began as the twin-engine "Sinbad," intended to be a luxury "air yacht." It was a high-wing monoplane, with its engines mounted above the wing. Its six to eight passengers looked out picture windows, and their baggage was stored in a 30-cubic-foot area. The Sinbad had no market during the luxury-deprived era. However, 59 of the next version, the Dolphin, were built between 1931 and 1934. It evolved into 17 variants. The U.S. Army, Navy and Coast Guard bought the Dolphin in large quantities. Some military Dolphin's remained in service until World War II.
