Boeing 247D seen in The Saint in New York .

The Boeing 247 was an early United States airliner, considered the first such aircraft to fully incorporate advances such as all-metal semi-monocoque construction, a fully cantilevered wing and retractable landing gear. Other advanced features included control surface trim tabs, an autopilot and deicing boots for the wings and tailplane. The 247 first flew on February 8, 1933 and entered service later that year. It was operated mostly by several United States airlines, but also by few foreign airlines such as Lufthansa, Canadian Pacific Airlines and the Columbian airline SCADTA. A number of aircraft were produced as C-73 military aircraft for the Royal Canadian Air Force and USAAF.
