Editorial Reviews

Midwest Book Review
This lively story of the Ford triomotor airplane appears in a newly updated, revised edition to introduce new audiences to this story of the first passenger airplane produced in 1928. Only 200 'Tin Goose' planes were ever manufactured, but these made aviation history, pioneering commercial flight runs, airplane ticketing, runway design, and other forerunners to modern flight.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat
"David Ansel Weiss has written lovingly and with a professional storyteller skill of this almost legendary plane that changed fledging aviation's fly-by-night operations into the giant airline industry of today."
