Byrd's Fokker Trimotor at The Henry Ford Museum...and in SKY

Commander Richard Byrd's Fokker F.VII A-3m Trimotor, "Josephine Ford" as it appears at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. Byrd and pilot Floyd Bennett were credited with being the first to reach the North Pole by air in May of 1926, but whether or not they actually made it is still argued today.

Read more about the aircraft, the flight and the men, and see detailed photos of the "Josephine Ford" in SKYWAYS, Issue #95, July 2010.
