'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. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

Photo dated July 1929 and Colonial's new Trimotor now wears a smart logo on the tailfin and wingtips. As illustrated by the other photos of N9475, the aircraft name has been changed from Nokomis to Nagomos, or Nacomos according to the only reference we found, but at close inspection the third letter looks like a G here. We have no idea what Nagomos or Nacomos is. NC9675 crashed into Boston Harbor immediately after take-off on 5 June 1930. One passenger was killed. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

A painter in a Curtiss overall is changing the name of this new Tri-Motor from Nokomis to Nagomos or perhaps Nacomos - see other photos of NC9675. The press reported the plane was christened Nakomis (sic) on Sunday 14 April 1929. The name change was done that very day or the next day. The photo is dated 15 April, but it seems likely that the ladies and the press photographer were present at the naming ceremony. Nokomis is a female Native American name. We have no clue what Nagomos or Nagomos is, but as we see here a name was chosen that required minimal changes. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library

This is one of my favorite rare Ford photos. It is on Virginia Street in downtown Reno, Nevada, on September 13, 1983. For two years, at the start of the National Championship Air Races, the main street was blocked off by the casinos to exhibit the Ford and other planes. The Ford was dismantled and trucked in to the site and then re-assembled.

For their operations in South America, Panagra installed cargo hatches in the top rear fuselage of several of their Trimotors. This photo shows how they were used. I am not sure where this photo originated. I got the print from Steve Hudek's collection. Photographer unknown.

'The first plane of the new transcontinental air line, of which Col Lindbergh is one of the organizers, photographed at Boiling Fields [sic].' Bolling Field was the same runway as Anacostia until 1935, when the US Army moved to a new Bolling Field nearby. TAT offered the first coast-to-coast air service between New York and Los Angeles in 1929, although the 48-hour journey involved a night train between NY and Columbus, Ohio and another one between Waynoka, Oklahoma and Clovis, New Mexico. 'Take A Train' merged with Maddux Air Lines, and then with Western Air Express to form TWA in 1930. Photo from: Library of Congress

'The first plane of the new transcontinental air line, of which Col Lindbergh is one of the organizers, photographed at Boiling Fields [sic].' Bolling Field was the same runway as Anacostia until 1935, when the US Army moved to a new Bolling Field nearby. TAT offered the first coast-to-coast air service between New York and Los Angeles in 1929, although the 48-hour journey involved a night train between NY and Columbus, Ohio and another one between Waynoka, Oklahoma and Clovis, New Mexico. 'Take A Train' merged with Maddux Air Lines, and then with Western Air Express to form TWA in 1930. Photo from: Library of Congress

N9651 was built in 1929 for Trans Continental Air Transport. At the time the slide was taken Mr. Irv Perlitch owned the aircraft. He also owned the Flying Lady Ranch Museum, and N9651 was maintained in flying condition, being exhibited at fly-ins and airshows often. Upon the closure of the museum in 1993 it was purchased by Mr. Kermit Weeks of Polk City, FL., where the a/c currently resides.
