CONTINENTAL AIRLINES FLIGHT 11. MAY 22 1962

The "official" blog-site regarding the tragic dynamiting and destruction of a Boeing 707 jetliner operating as Continental Airlines Flight 11 in 1962. The destruction of the aeroplane, en route from Chicago to Los Angeles via Kansas City, resulted in the death of all 45 passengers and crew. Finally, after 48 years a memorial was established thanks to the help of this blog, a local historian in Unionville and the assistance of many individuals.

A snapshot of Continental pre jet-age

I was fortunate enough to be sent this Continental Airlines staff newsletter from December 1958. It offers an interesting insight into the airline business just prior to the jet age. Robert Six features on the second page. He was CEO at the time of Flight 11, 4 years later.
