1939 Northwest Airlines "Sky Zephyrs" Coffee Mug
Northwest elected to go with the somewhat faster Lockheed 14 rather than the DC-2. In fact, they did not become a DC-3 operator until 1939. The Lockheed 14 is normally referred to as the Super Electra. However, Northwest dubbed them 'Sky Zephyr'. Their fleet of 12 were used on the longer stage lengths, relieving the Lockheed 10-As for the shorter haul sectors. The unusual dark colored set of wings underlying the orangy-red "Northwest" titling made this a difficult aircraft to photograph at the best of times
