...analytical report of the crash of a United Air Liner on Bountiful Peak, northeast of Salt Lake City, last November (TIME, Nov. 17), CAB frankly admitted the probable cause of the accident: the Salt Lake City radio range going out of whack before United's veteran pilot, Howard Fey, started to let down through a snowy overcast. More, CAB cited a miserable record of neglect, indecision and ignorance by its employes...
...slightly intoxicated baby. Born & raised in Austria, he flunked out of a school for boneheads, came to the U. S. in 1914 (he was 16, two-pistoled in readiness for New York's Redskins). Here he wrote and illustrated classics for children and adults, became known as a fey genius whose private life was as original as his books.

The operator knew his next move would be a turn to the left, into the "A" Zone, a swing back on the beam, an easy letdown from the north into the field. But nothing...
...Salt Lake City flew Civil Aeronautics Board men to investigate the second crash on U. S. airlines in 65 days-after a 17-month period in which not a single life was lost. But Pilot Fey's flying friends thought they already knew the answer. The beam must have failed just as he turned off into the "A" zone to head south. Angling back on to the steady hum of the beam before heading south to the airport, he should have heard the cheeping dot-dash of the "A" until he picked up the steady hum of the course...
