12/31/2009. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The Model 226 was the eleventh aeroplane in the original batch of twelve Model 80As sufficiently modified with special features to justify a new model designation and delivered to the Standard Oil Company of California as a deluxe executive transport under Memo 2-310 on December 20, 1930.

The fuel capacity was increased to 658 gal (2,491 l), the passenger capacity was reduced, and a considerable amount of structural and aerodynamic refinement was incorporated. Large wheel fairings, or 'pants', were installed at the factory along with anti-drag rings around the engines, but these were removed in service.

The cabin was entirely different to that of the airline model and included a revised lavatory, two convertible day beds, six adjustable overstuffed chairs, two side tables, two folding tables, gasoline stove, refrigerator, sink, enlarged windows, and special upholstery and paneling."
