A brief history of the model:
The Ford Tri-Motor, affectionately known as the "Tin Goose," was one of the first all-metal airliners and a cornerstone of early commercial aviation in the 1920s and 1930s. Built by the Ford Motor Company, this rugged three-engine aircraft was known for its reliability, short takeoff and landing capability, and ability to operate from unprepared fields. It served with early airlines, explorers, and even military operators, making it a true pioneer of the skies.
