The Douglas Cloudster was a 1920s American biplane, the only product of the Davis-Douglas Company, designed to make the first non-stop flight coast to coast across the United States. It first flew on 24 February 1921 and broke the Pacific Coast altitude record on 19 March that year by climbing 19,160 feet, and it attempted the coast-to-coast journey in June. In 1923 it was sold and modified for sightseeing flights with extra open cockpits, and it was later fitted with an enclosed ten-seat cabin by Claude Ryan, so that it became the flagship of his San Diego to Los Angeles airline, one of the first scheduled passenger lines in the country.
