Souvenir Receipt from a 25-Mile Aerial Tour in the Ford-Stout All-Metal Plane, circa 1928

01

Artifact Overview

Early airlines encouraged interest in airplane travel by offering short aerial tours at relatively low prices. Perhaps the passenger who took this 25-mile tour, via Stout Air Services, in July 1928 later became a full-fare passenger on one of the company's regular flights between Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
