TWA and other airlines boasted: ‘Coast to Coast in 17 hours!’ which meant you stopped every few hundred miles. The train made a brief stop in Salt Lake City on January 13, where she spoke to people waiting on the platform and sold some war bonds. She raised flags. It’s a very racy picture.

I’m a star.’ She refused to get off.Lombard’s party of three stayed on the plane with these Army Air Corp flyers. Lombard didn’t like flying, and had taken a train from Los Angeles that was bound for Chicago. She was a comedian. As Matzen wrote in an email to me, “This is such a chilling story, if true, and adds to a truly macabre set of events that led up to the plane crash near Las Vegas.”It’s been nearly 75 years since Carole Lombard’s death, and all of the people who had first-hand or even second-hand knowledge of the events at Tuckaway in January 1942 are dead.
