Photo Comment
'First passenger plane to run between Boston and NYC.' Colonial Air Transport was slow to upgrade from Fairchild FC-2 mailplanes to true airliners on the CAM-1 route. Juan Trippe had ordered Fokker Trimotors for Colonial as early as 1925, but he was fired by the conservative board. This Ford first flew on 20 March 1929. The aircraft name worn here was changed just before or after the naming ceremony - see other photos of NC9675.
