The Western Flyer was a fat tire bicycle...the boat in question sank in Washington and requires no long distance move.

Captain....You're close. The little red wagon that I had as a kid was called the Radio Flyer and my snow sled was the Flexible Flyer. Lots of 'flyers' in the 40's and 50's.

Dunno what I called this scooter...but my Dad would say it did 'fly'.
