That’s a Ford Trimotor. I’ve ridden on one a few times. Very basic transportation!

At one time a Ford Trimotor provided passenger service between islands off the northern Ohio coastline. We’d take it when visiting relatives in the area. This was in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Our scout troop took trips to south bass and the kids and a few adults would fly in the tri motor to the island.
As a scout I got to fly the plane around Perry’s monument.
