Guess This Aircraft ?


Recommended Posts

You are right of course, kasper. Henry Ford said the Model T was every man's car, and the Flivver would be every man's aircraft. The idea was first proposed to William Bushnell Stout, manager of Ford's acquired aircraft division in 1926. Both Stout and William Benson Mayo, head of Ford's Aircraft Division wanted nothing to do with the aircraft and it was built in a nearby museum building in the Ford Laboratories.

 

After a fatal crash of a prototype into the ocean off Melbourne, Florida, production plans were halted.

 

This one took longer to answer than I expected. If you check back at the photo, note the full span ailerons.

Not just you, mate. I thought there would be plenty out there who would be on it in an instant. It seems like there are quite a few others on here as much as I am - nearly all day.

I know of it because it was used by the transport auxiliary to ferry pilots around aircraft factories to deliver aircraft - there are a few good books about the ata and it was mentioned not favourably in one of them.
