...wall between the movable control column and the fixed structural parts of the cockpit. Grim-faced at his narrow escape from tragedy, the pilot told his employers about it. They at once passed the word to other lines using DC-3's. United Air Lines, whose February crash into San Francisco Bay was still a mystery, quickly took another look at the wreckage in which seasoned Pilot Alexander Raymond ("Tommy") Thompson, Co-Pilot Joe De Cesaro and nine other persons perished (TIME, Feb. 22).
