Artifact Overview

Airplanes require careful maintenance, and each flight must be thoroughly documented in a logbook. This book, for the final flights of the Douglas DC-3 in The Henry Ford's collection, records everything from crew members' names, to flight times, to the operating temperatures of the engines' cylinder heads. Equipment malfunctions and subsequent repairs are noted as well.
