The army's fokker C-14B was a big, lumbering hulk of an open-cockpit transport with one huge parasol wing-mounted above the fuselage and not joined to it-and the beast could haul six passengers at a blistering maximum velocity of 137 mph. The lumbering speed may have been partially due to the C-14B having a single 525-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1690 on its nose. Other C-14 variants were powered by engines of higher power.
