[Telegram to William H. Cook, Sr. from William H. Cook, Jr., March 19, 1939]

Description

Telegram to William H. Cook, Sr. from his son, William H. Cook, Jr., March 19, 1939. Responds to Cook, Sr.'s previous telegram about the crash of a Boeing 307 Stratoliner during a test flight on March 18, 1939. Cook, Jr. states that he is okay, as he was not on the flight, but that his boss, William Doyle, was killed. He also references two "KLM men" that took his spot on the flight, likely referring to Pieter Guillonard, technical director for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and Albert Gillis von Baumhauer, an engineer for the Dutch Aviation Authority.
