HEYO!!!! So this is what ACMECo1940 and I have been working on for about a month and a half.
This is, according to ACMECo1940, the very first Douglas World Cruiser on SimplePlanes!
(It was ACMECo's idea to work on this)

About:
The Douglas World Cruiser was developed to meet a requirement from the United States Army Air Service for an aircraft suitable for an attempt at the first flight around the world.
