Today the industry has $332,500,000 of unfilled orders for the U. S. and foreign governments, and good-sized commercial orders. Douglas for example last fortnight got orders totaling $3,000,000 for DC-3s from American Airlines, Chicago & Southern Air Lines, and Braniff Airways, recently sold $3,000,000 worth of big DC-4s to United Air Lines. Lockheed has an order for $180,000 worth of commercial planes for Venezuela-possibly a precursor of other big South American orders...
Three years ago American Airlines financed the purchase of some Douglas DC-3s and DSTs largely by equipment trust certificates sold to RFC. But Pan American had to seek no such professional giver of largess. It sold $2,500,000 worth of 4% certificates, maturing semiannually from January 1940 to January 1944, to the hardheaded New York Trust Co., has an option to sell it another $1,000,000 worth...
...ailerons hinge on. This reduces the flow of air through the slot, thus reduces the ability of ice to form at this crucial point. Simultaneously Douglas revealed that the DC2 is the only important U. S. transport requiring this change in design. Boeing 247-Ds, Lockheed Electras, Douglas DC-3s all have aileron designs not susceptible...
...Last summer American Airlines began flying the first of these superb new planes in two models-21-passenger day coaches and sleepers with 14 berths plus a compartment (TIME, Sept. 28). This week United Air Lines inaugurated non-stop service between New York and Chicago with DC-3s outfitted along a new design which makes them the most luxurious in the world. Instead of 21 seats arranged in rigid rows, United installed 14 big swivel chairs, much like those in a Pullman, giving passengers more comfort and room to use such gewgaws as bridge tables, footstools, chessmen magnetized so they...
Rebuilt since the time when, playing a dogleg par four, Jock Hutchinson and big Bob MacDonald each got 2s, the other members of their foursome, 3s. Blue Mound is still only 6,270 yd. long, shorter than most championship links. In the qualifying rounds, an obscure Timber Point (L. I.) professional named Jimmy Hines, and Mortie Dutra, hulking brother of the hulking defending champion, tied for the medal with 138. Par 70 was broken or tied 16 times and the 31 out of 97 starters who qualified needed 146 or better. In the first round, Leo Diegel lost...
