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.
