1. 3:37min - That’s a large biplane. Vickers Vernon? Never heard of them. Shameful I know. I’m guessing single pilot? Or was there an engineer / co-pilot / passenger that would help start the engines on landing stops in the middle of nowhere?
The Smithsonian article says crew of four

The Vernons were flown by a crew of four: two pilots, a mechanic, and a wireless operator.
