Ford Trimotor was the worlds first luxury airliner when it took to the skies in the late 1920s. Nicknamed the Tin Goose it featured an aluminum corrugated sheetmetal body and wings and was powered by three 420hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engines. Due to its rugged dependability Admiral Byrd chose it for his attempt to be the first person to fly over the South Pole which he did on November 28 1929.
