SHOWROOM MODEL OF A FORD TRI-MOTOR AIRPLANE.

SHOWROOM MODEL OF A FORD TRI-MOTOR AIRPLANE. The real plane was also known as “The Tin Goose”. 199 planes were manufactured from 1925 until 1933. The plane which was sold all over the world was originally designed for use as a civilian aircraft. However, they could easily be converted for military use as well.
