Nations Airways protest over Golden Eagle fuel at start
San Francisco August 16 The Nations Airways system with the Air King City of Peoria protested to Washington that the Golden Eagle started with only 350 gallons of gasoline, short of the 397 required under a 15 percent safety margin. The telegram to Commerce official William McCracken called for investigation into why the plane left the airport with insufficient fuel and noted the City of Peoria was disqualified for carrying 18 gallons more than the Golden Eagle under the speed basis used. The protest argues the Golden Eagle violated fuel rules and asks for review.
