It has been brought to my attention by Chris Baird of Arizona Wrecks that author Bryan W. Alaspa has released a book on the sabotage of the United flight 23 near Chesterton Indian.
Bryan's book details the inner workings of the FBI at the time and the involvement of J Edgar Hoover.
The title of the book is "SABOTAGE, A chronicle of the Chesterton Crash".
Bryan's website is here: http://bryanwalaspa.com/
Chris also informs me that a professor Owen Johnson is interested in the crash as well and has been researching it.
Once again anyone with any further information please do not hesitate to contact me or comment on this blog.
Chris and I would be rather keen to see a memorial for this ultra-important crash in American aviation history.
As it was the first-ever sabotage of a passenger plane on USA soil it deserved a heck of a lot more attention that it has at the moment. I truly believe that the town of Chesterton should honour this tragic event as it was a defining moment in the history of aviation in the USA and Chesterton happened to be where it unfolded that night.
