I'm interested in knowing anything more about the crash of a Boeing 247 operated by United Airlines which crashed on October 10 1933 near Chesterton, Indiana. This aircraft, with 7 aboard of whom all were killed, was suspected to have been brought down by an explosive device. That device and the suspect to whom it belonged were never found conclusively and the case of this downed airliner remains unsolved.

Sabotage: chronicle of the Chesterton crash
I have finally obtained a copy of Bryan Alaspa's book on the Chesterton crash and it makes a splendid read. It really does make the entire affair seem so much more mysterious as it delves into the world at the time and sets the scene for what was and still is a great aviation mystery. I only hope the relatives of the victims have an interest and eventually read this book.
