Artifact Overview
Air travel cost more than train or bus transportation, but it was faster. One could fly from Cleveland to Detroit in just 100 minutes -- have your breakfast in Cleveland, spend the business day in Detroit, and be back in Cleveland for dinner, as this brochure colorfully explained it. The same trip took 3 hours and 50 minutes by railroad.

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.
