The Golden Years- Birth of a World-Wide Airline- Transcontinental & Western Air
Love this image, and the site of this magnificent DC-2 landing on a dirt pack landing in Death Valley must have been a beautiful site. The massive engines are evident in showing just how much bigger than life these air transports really were..... (shown is Scotty Graves, Death Valley legend and TWA pilot La Mar Nelson) May 28th 1937. This rare image is a testament to this beautiful expanse of below sea level environ which I love driving through, although, precious to purchasing this image, I had no idea a Transcontinental & Western Air airliner had ever landed here!
