Loading Passenger Luggage into Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT-81, Ford Airport, Dearborn, Michigan, 1930
Add to SetSummary
Stout Air Lines advertised direct airplane service between Detroit and Cleveland, but this wasn't strictly true. Stout's "Detroit" terminal was, in fact, Ford Airport in Dearborn, ten miles west of the city. Passengers gathered at a station in Detroit and were shuttled by bus to the Dearborn airport where they boarded the actual plane.
