American Airlines Flight 910, a four-engine Douglas DC-6 propliner, collided in mid-air with a single engine Temco Swift on final approach to Dallas Love Field on June 28, 1952, over Dallas, Texas. The DC-6 was carrying 55 passengers and 5 crew members from San Francisco, California. The DC-6 landed with no injuries to any of its 60 occupants, while both occupants of the two-person Swift died when their aircraft impacted the ground.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ASN accident record )〕 ==History== The two-seat, single-engine Temco Swift aircraft was a Model GC 1B, serial number 3558, manufactured on May 24, 1948.〔 It was occupied by pilot Paul Brower, who owned the aircraft, and passenger Don Walker, both of Denton, Texas. Brower, who was 19 years old, had logged a total of 250 flight hours, but had been granted his private pilot license only 3 days earlier.〔 Both Brower and Walker were employees of Central Airlines at Love Field, and Brower had been commuting to work in his airplane almost daily for the past few months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CAB Accident Investigation Report ) (Historical Aviation Accidents, 1952, Swift and American Airlines)〕 American Airlines Flight 910, a four-engine DC-6 propliner, departed San Francisco for Dallas at 23:05 on June 27, and made three scheduled stops on its way to Dallas–Love Field. On board was a flight crew of three, Captain G. H. Woolweaver, First Officer James R. Poe, Flight Engineer John Barrett, and a cabin crew of two flight attendants, Arlene Siebert and Anita Schmidt.〔 55 passengers were on board for the final segment of the flight from El Paso to Dallas. At 06:56 of the following morning, the Swift aircraft departed Denton, Texas on a VFR flight for Dallas–Love Field, and as it neared its destination the pilot contacted Love tower for landing instructions, requesting a "straight-in" approach. Flight 910 had canceled its IFR clearance earlier, flying VFR during its final flight segment, and received landing clearance for Runway 13. The First Officer, seated on the right, was flying the aircraft, and was guiding it down the ILS glidepath and localizer, while maintaining visual contact with the ground. The crew could hear the tower give instructions to a light aircraft nearby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Airlines Flight 910」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
