Harry Brooks in Ford Flivver Airplane, circa 1925
01
Artifact Overview
Test pilot Harry Brooks waved from a Ford Flivver airplane circa 1925. The Flivver was Henry Ford's attempt to create a small, affordable airplane that almost anyone could fly -- a Model T for the sky. Three or four prototypes were built, but Ford abandoned the project after Brooks died in a Flivver crash near Melbourne, Florida, in 1928.
