The Lake was a single; a classmate of mine used to ferry green ships from the factory to a paint shop. He'd stop by the campus to catch a class or two enroute.
The German Junkers JU-52-3m was built in large numbers. Read Gann's "Band of Brothers" for a wonderfully funny tale about one.
And when the first AA 727 was delivered, they parked it nose-to-nose with their restored Ford trimotor for a photo op. You can probably find it online. The Ford is now hanging in the NASM in Washington.

The Italians built a couple of lovely "middle engine" types too:
First the Fiat G212CP
Savoia Marchetti S.73
I remember seeing the Fiat at Vigna di Valle
(note to Pprune mod - I resized these to 300x800 or less, but they still show bigger here. I dunno...)
Barit - since you tried, as a favour I have done this for you - NB I do not intend to do this all the time - my time is too precious! Full instructions are in the notes at forum top, and your images were respectively 1179x399 and 1109x306. I suspect you reposted the originals? Doh!
