Of course, the Lightning-Liner family included a (vertical) double-decker and a twin-double-decker:

Here are the Panoramic-Liners PLi-38A, B, C on a 200% P-38 basis (with R-3420 engines). This would be pleasant for passengers, why should I invent it myself?

Your designs never fail to get me thinking, Tophe!
I especially like the one with two passenger/payload pods.
The split tail planes give this one a Luft '46 look and I keep imagining it re-supplying that famous Antarctic base.

Thanks a lot, Brian!
Payload? Is that a word for passengers? I know I am fat and do represent a load in an airliner, but... are you referring to the SuperCargo SCa-38A, B, C derivatives? (civilian freighters without retractable undercarriage)

Thanks Frank3k, your idea gave birth to the Frankheed F-3038 airliner (the one with giant propellers but having no more "fragile" landing gears). Thanks again!

Thanks Brian.
Well, without giant spats but with passenger pods and parasol wing, it seems not solid enough, what to do? turn biplane?

Airliners for little men: DW-38, GU-38 from Gulliver Airlines, not to be confused with the GUL-38 gull-wing airliner:
