The Condor prototype on its first flight over Long Island on 21 July 1929. Apparently TAT/TAT Maddux only trialled a few Condors and returned them as they were no match for the smaller Ford Tri-Motor. NC185H then went to Eastern Air Transport but only six Model 53 Condors were built. Photo from: The Henry Ford This photo was added on 4 February 2024, and has since been viewed 304 times. |
