Artifact Overview
Flying was a new experience for Americans in the late 1920s. Stout Air Services offered relatively inexpensive tour flights to attract new passengers. This brochure calmed the nerves of first-time flyers. Passengers were assured that "the pilot always banks when turning," "the air supports the plane like the ocean supports a ship," and "dizziness is unknown in airplanes."

- 14 Artifacts
The Ford Tri-Motor was the most popular airliner of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Its rugged dependability led Richard Byrd to choose a Tri-Motor for his attempt to be the first person to fly over the South Pole. On November 28-29, 1929, Byrd and a crew of three achieved that goal in this plane.
