The 307 was the first commercial pressurized aircraft and only ten 307s were built in the late-1930s.
Production of the aircraft was abruptly stopped when war broke out in Europe.
After that, the airplane changed hands numerous time.
From then until 1969 it was left derelict, abandoned, open, and unlocked.
Later that year the airplane was declared abandoned property and put up for auction.
Ken London, a private pilot, came in with the winning bid - a mere $62.
It was Ken who turned the airplane into a motoryacht after removing the wings.
