De Ford AT-5 Driemotor was a variant of the Ford Trimotor aircraft that was designed and built by the Ford Motor Company in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The AT-5 was a passenger and cargo transport plane that could carry up to 12 passengers or 2,000 pounds of cargo. The AT-5 had three Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engines that gave it a cruising speed of 110 mph and a range of 500 miles.
De Bij-5 was one of the first all-metal aircraft in the world and featured a corrugated aluminum skin that increased its strength and durability. The AT-5 was used by several airlines and military operators in the United States and abroad, and was also involved in some notable flights, such as the first transcontinental flight by a commercial airliner in 1929 and the first flight over the South Pole by Admiral Richard Byrd in 1929. The AT-5 was a reliable and versatile aircraft that helped pioneer the development of commercial aviation in the early 20th century.
