THE CAPTAINS IN FLIGHT REPORT
TAG PHOTO TO ENLARGE

Here is one of those great little items from the long ago days of flying, an actual in-flight progress report for the passengers, written by the flight crew.
This report is from Eastern Airlines Flight 654 a DC-3 flight from Miami to Boston on January 20, 1950.
Unfortunately they never wrote down the tail number of the DC-3, but looking at my old airways chart the flight was flying over Camden S.C. along RED 16 with Florence as its next POR.
