To its aid late last year went Hughes, who at that time still controlled TWA and harbored a grand scheme for merging Northeast and TWA. Hughes let Northeast take delivery on six Convair 880s that he had originally ordered for TWA and gave Northeast a $9,500,000 loan to help cover the cost of the transition to jets...
