Closeup of the cockpit of the Fokker F-10A NC-9169, "The Texan", belonging to Standard Airlines, with Jack Frye, who would later be the president of TWA, in the pilot's seat. (This was Standard Airlines' second aircraft to bear this name; the first, a single-engine Fokker F.VIIa, had crashed on March 30, 1929.)

(The "'28" written on this photo is a year off, since this aircraft was manufactured in July of 1929.)
