Here is a link to British Pathe footage of Charles Lindbergh flying this very aircraft (TWA, Lockheed DL-1 Vega, NC497H, c/n 135): YouTube: British Pathé - "Lindbergh Test Flight For Night Mail Aka Lindburgh Test Flight For Night Mail (1933)"

The DL-1 was a modernized version of the Lockheed Vega 5C and was developed by Detroit Aircraft. Three Detroit-Lockheed Model Ones (DL-1s) were assembled in Detroit, Michigan, with a duralumin fuselage made in the Michigan city and wooden wings made by Lockheed in Burbank. This aircraft, the first of the DL-1s, was completed in February 1930 and in June 1930, American aviatrix Amelia Earhart borrowed the aircraft and set three woman's speed and load records at Grosse Isle Airport, Detroit. 1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/LoopPat/4206.htm

I wondered what the assembly on the aft cockpit was (Scarff ring?) -and found this; it's for mounting a movie camera. Link shows picture of it in action www.dmairfield.com/airplanes/NC117W/index.html
