I also think you meant to type Boeing 247D not 257D. However, it is not a Boeing, too many engines and Pax.
Anyway Mike why are you on a PC when in Paris? You should be out enjoying a good meal and good wine.

Could this be some Hughes experimental single?

Mike. Sorry for the delay.
Also sorry to say not the Bellanca Air Cruiser, Thanks for the picture, now that is a weird looking aircraft.
Pigboat.
Also not a Vultee V-1A. I am afraid.

, because it is the right answer 
.

Nineteen minutes. Not bad!
Specifically - this is the one the Harold Johnson looped before airshow crowds in the 1930's. Not sure if was a 4AT or 5AT model.
The ball-handle stick between the seats is the brake handle. Some of the gages for #1 & #3 engines were located (where else?) on the nacelles.
Take it away, seacue.

Sorry, but it was just beginner's luck and I have nothing to post.
The corrugated aircraft skin was a hint. Could have been a Junkers though.
barit1 or someone else please take control.
