For The Detroit News, operating an L-5 Vega, NC32M, was not a whim. In 1934 they bought this new L-9 Orion. A radio reporter could broadcast from the plane - WWJ, on the tailfin, was the call sign of the Detroit News Radiophone. There was even a photo camera installed in the fairing on the left wing. NC799W was worn earlier by the newspaper's Pitcairn autogyro. The Orion was requisitioned as 42-62601 in 1942. Scrapped after an accident in 1947. Photo from: The Henry Ford

Hudsons for Britain were delivered to Canada and then flown or shipped across the Atlantic. Initially they were reportedly required to cross into Canada over land and this likely happened between Detroit and Windsor. Construction number 2458 confirmed on nose. The DC-3 is NC21797.

The first Northrop Gamma, first flown on 3 December 1932. Sold to Texaco for $40,000. As NX12265 Sky Chief flown from Los Angeles to New York in 13 hours and 27 minutes by Frank Hawks. Sold to motorboat builder Gar Wood of Detroit on 21 August 1934. Pilot Joe Jacobson bailed out before NR12265 Kinjockety III exploded over Kansas during the 1936 NY to LA Bendix race. The gas tank stood hazardously close to DET until the 1960s. Photo from: Wayne State University

The Stout Metal Airplane Division of Ford didn't want anything to do with the Ford Flivver light aircraft. William Stout left Ford in 1930 and, complaining about a lack of progress in aviation, designed the all-metal Skycar with a 75-hp pusher engine. The sole Skycar I was not a roadable aircraft. The tail was later changed. Updated prototypes were built in the 1940s. Photo assumed taken at Detroit City Airport because of the proximity of houses. Photo from: Wayne State University

Nationwide Airlines of Detroit was formed in 1947, operating aircraft in conjunction with Nationwide Air Transport Service. The former merged with Lake Central Airlines in 1950, and the latter was taken over by Resort Airlines in 1951. This picture is a detail of a photo which also shows C-47A NC54337. That aircraft crashed 11 Nov 1949, which helps to date this photo a bit more precisely. NC57131 seen here is ex 42-100577, a D-Day veteran. Photo from: Wayne State University

Meteor Air Transport was formed in Teterboro, New Jersey in 1946 and operated low-fare flights to Detroit. Detail of picture which also shows C-47A NC57131 of Nationwide Airlines, which helps to date the photo a bit more precisely. NC54337 is ex 43-15670, and it crashed near DET on 19 November 1949. Later repaired by the insurers, it became PP-AOD, PP-AKD, FAB 2072 and PT-KVB. CofA expired Sep 1984. The big airlines left DET for YIP in 1946-1947 but Meteor evidently still used DET at the time of the crash. Photo from: Wayne State University
