34 of them were built - a project of oilman J. Paul Getty in the late 1930s. Only thirty-four were built, perhaps twenty remaining 80 years later. Delightfully light on the controls!

Only disadvantage I can see is a disappointingly small useful load, compared e.g. to a DGA-15P. It seats 5, but with any fuel on board, it only lifts 3.
