Additional Accident Information

edit

This note on the Martin 2-0-2 appeared in the January 16 2023 “Morning Brief” emailed by the Seattle Times.

I cannot vouch for its accuracy but it appears that HistoryLink.org would be a reputable source. The information is not in the article on the 2-0-2, though it may be in the referenced Killion The Martinliners p 168.

I leave it to editors with knowledge of Wikipedia standards and rules to decide if the information is appropriate to add to the article:

Today in history
A Seattle-bound Northwest Airlines plane, en route in 1951 from Minneapolis with several stops including Spokane, crashes on a farm in Lincoln County, killing all 10 people on board. The Civil Aeronautics Board later concludes that the probable cause was the pilot’s sudden loss of control of the airplane for unknown reasons. Immediately after the crash, Northwest pilots refuse to fly the Martin 2-0-2 plane; between August 1948 and January 1951 there had been five accidents in which 89 persons were killed. Two months later, Northwest says the planes would be removed from service and replaced by the Douglas DC-4. (Compiled from HistoryLink.org)
