...swells on their surprisingly cramped, 1,336-mph passage at $10,000 a head. A trip aboard one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable club. But part of its charm - to the small number of people who flew it - was that it was superior to the other planes, safer. For the price of a ticket, you were buying a guarantee...
