Northern Air
Transport Ford 5-AT-C NC8419
(c/n 58)
Records indicate that Noel &
Eielson Wien founded Northern Air Transport in 1929. However,
they had previously operated as Wien
Airways. Clearly by the time this Ford Trimotor was ac-
quired, the line was
operating as Northern A/T. This ex-Northwest Airways
machine had been
purchased
from Star Airlines. The ropey old image above
came from a scan from the book
"Alaska
Bush Pilots in the Float Country" by Satterfield, Archie,
&
Lloyd Jarman. (Superior
Publishing. 1969).
