First Large Airplane Flight From Middletown Marks DC-3 Venture
The Flying Service and Queen Service officials inaugurated the Miami Valley DC-3 venture from Hook Field near Middletown. The 21 passenger 3 crew craft, owned by George Wedekind, offers charter potential though Ohio restrictions limit commercial use pending CAA rulings. The silver plane travels 160 mph, consumes 100 gallons of gas per hour, and expands the company’s operation beyond its longtime small-plane field.
