This Day In Aviation History
 

On this date in 1933, a United Airlines Boeing 247 exploded in midair over/near Chesterton, Indiana. The explosion was determined to be an act of sabotage, the first proven instance of such in aviation history.

The tail section was found mostly in tact almost a mile from the crash site.

I almost didn't post this link, but it goes to a page with better links peppered throughout the article.

Explanation?

Wormhole.:3_eyes:

Used by the Finnish, British, and Australian Air Forces, plus the US Navy...

Wasn't that plane manufactured in Willow Grove during the war? I seem to recall it was.

Yes, that was one of the three plants, one in Jersey and I think the third was in NY State.

If ever there was an aircraft where they started with the engine and worked backwards, that was it.

I've never flown a tail dragger but I imagine that thing wasn't the easiest aircraft to handle.

I bet a carrier landing concentrated the mind wonderfully. :eek:

The Brewster Buffalo did not acquit itself well. It was poorly designed and unpopular with the pilots. The few that were made, I think, were relegated to training duties or maybe they were sent to the Soviets.

I also seem to recall reading that the Brewster company was one of the only ones to actually go out on strike during the war.

509 built and used by the Finnish, British, and Australian Air Forces, plus the US Navy.




And the beat goes on...
