Ford Tractor Plane Tug
The small but powerful US "Moto-Tug" or aircraft tug featured a small turning radius and was ideal for maneuvering planes on aircraft carrier runways. Equipped with durable steel bumper, 45hp engine and double rear tires, this vehicle was able to tow an approx. 1.8 ton payload. Moto-Tugs could be seen on the flight decks of both massive aircraft carriers and smaller escort class aircraft carriers.
