    That was COOL!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Charlie. I had no idea FORD made planes, and that quick! One every 55 minutes! That's insane. They also said there were over a million parts per plane. Something was so right about the quality and efficiency of that time! I can't imagine how long it takes to make a modern aircraft today(granted they are a lot more complex)
    I love old film footage like this, combining some of my favorite things.

    Earlier Ford made the Tri-Motor, which pretty much revolutionized passenger and cargo service for the early airlines - Ford Trimotor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Thanks Roger that's a cool factoid too! I thought I'd post a few Wiki photos of this styling plane!
