- Stout and Ford Airplanes at Ford Airport, circa 1925 - Bill Stout built his first tri-motor airplane, the 3-AT, in late 1925, not long after Henry Ford purchased his Stout Metal Airplane Company. The 3-AT, seen several times in this clip, was a failure. The prototype was destroyed in a fire in January 1926. The disastrous 3-AT informed the design of the considerably more successful 4-AT -- the celebrated Ford Tri-Motor.
