Eastern Air Lines Plane Rests In Cow Pasture After Emergency Landing Near Willow Run Airport, November 1947 Photographer: Eck Stanger
Year:
1947
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, November 17, 1947
Caption:
ALL OCCUPANTS SAFE IN CRASH-LANDING: One minute after its takeoff from Willow Run at dusk last night, this Miami-bound Eastern Air Liner crash-landed in a cow pasture without injury to any of 17 persons aboard. Capt. Thad Royall, veteran commercial pilot, made a lightning decision to land his craft after mechanical trouble developed. Wheels up, he skimmed telephone wires, clipped a fence, and skidded the plane to a stop within a few paces of a tree-lined 10-foot deep drainage ditch. Only damage to the craft was bent propellors and a scraped under-fuselage. Repair crews today were replacing the propellors preparatory to flying the plane away from the scene of the forced landing.
