Ford Trimotor Assembly Line and Test Flights; Ford's Airplane

What if the Model A had wings and could fly? We break away from our normal Model A content to provide this video we assembled from six different films detailing the assembly of the Ford Trimotor. We did our best to clean up the footage that was pretty poor in spots.
Offered without commentary we hope you enjoy seeing how Ford used his production knowledge to manufacture 200 Trimotors from 1926 - 1933.
A Model A is dedicated to the history of the Model A Ford using historical images and videos as well as modern resources.

This footage is from later production of the Ford 5-AT. I wish it was earlier in production, but still very rare footage. I've been inside a Ford Tri-Motor but didn't get to fly on that occasion. It is on my list of things I want to do.
There are several being restored today. As big as the Tri-Motor is, you can only imagine how difficult and time consuming it is to rebuild.
Elsewhere On TH-cam, I follow a man who has is own channel (Kermit Weeks). He is an amazing man who is doing more that his part to save as many Vintage and Warbird aircraft. Check out his channel for more footage of the two Fords he is having rebuilt. One was acquired from a man who recovered from a Central American jungle (Nicaragua as I recall) and the other that was virtually destroyed in Hurricane Andrew(1992). Another great video!
