Unknown (cn Unknown) A rather clean Island Airlines Ford Trimotor sits outside the Company's hangar at Port Clinton Airport, OH in this undated postcard from my collection. It is amazing how many Island Trimotor postcards there are out there. This one reads:Island Airlines; Shortest Airline in the world. 3 miles East of Port Clinton, OH on US Rt 2. Frequent scheduled flights year round to the Lake Erie Islands. Flying 1928 Ford Tri-Motor planes, the line offers low fares and an excellent safety record. Thousands each year enjoy the scenic flight over the islands.

I made that flight as a kid from PCW to Put-In-Bay on perhaps this very Trimotor. I remember how the right main tire spun from takeoff until touchdown! The Liberty Air Museum at PCW are currently restoring one of the original Island Airlines' birds...perhaps one day I can relive the trip! Thanks for this! http://www.jaunted.com/story/2012/7/23/13540/2143/travel/Inside+Ohio%27s+New+Liberty+Aviation+Museum+and+Ford+Tri-Motor+Airplane+Restoration
