💡 Did You Know?

The airplane shown as taking Lucky and Iris on their honeymoon is a 1933 Boeing 247D, registration NC13334, flown by United Airlines. It crashed in Bethel, Connecticut on 30 May 1934 on a flight from Chicago to Newark, New Jersey, via Cleveland, Ohio when it ran out of fuel in bad weather. All nine passengers and three crew members survived. The heavily damaged plane was crated up and hauled away by United. It was rebuilt as a 247D model and resumed service for the airline in 1935. It was subsequently sold to the Colombian airline SCADTA and was still flying in 1945. Its fate is unknown.
