Which airliner was the first to introduce the two person cockpit? I read somewere that it was a variant of the A300. Is this true? Also did the 737-200 ever had a 3rd crewmember or has it always just been a captain and first officer?

Not sure about the 200, but the 737-100 was originally staffed by 3, with the FE sitting on the jumpseat. It's all in Flying the Line Part 2

It was a second officer, not a flight engineer. No version of the 737 ever required a flight engineer.
