Douglas DC-8 Skybus

The proposed passenger plane based on the XB-42. "The DC-8 was to use the same Allison V1710s as the XB-42 (these rated at 1,375 hp (1,025 kW)), fitted below and immediately behind the cockpit.

They were to power contra-rotating propellers in the tail, as in the XB-42, by way of driveshafts under the cabin floor.

It was intended to operate on short- and medium-range routes, carrying between 40 and 48 passengers in a then-novel pressurized cabin. The airliner project was canceled after development costs made it commercially unviable."

Passenger Plane With 22 On Board Goes Missing

A passenger plane with 22 people on board went missing in Nepal on Sunday, the operating airline and officials said, as poor weather hampered a search operation. Nepal’s air industry has boomed in recent years, carrying goods and people between hard-to-reach areas as well as foreign trekkers and climbers, AFP reports. But it has a poor safety record.

“Hockey Fans Escape Death After Aeroplane Crash,” Toronto Star. March 21, 1932. Page 3. ---- The graphic story of how seven Timmins men returning from the hockey game in Toronto between the Timmins team and the Nationals crashes in an unnamed little lake six miles southwest of Moose Lake in the Night Hawk Lake region, between South Porcupine and Matheson, lived in an improvised shack without food for three days and three nights, and came out to tell the tale is illustrated in these exclusive pictures of the wreck obtained by a Star reporter, who flew from Sudbury to South Porcupine, thence to the scene of the crash. (1) The actual wreckage of the big seven-passenger travelair cabin aeroplane wedged into the edge of the bush when one of the wings cracked off and the rest of the machine, minus its landing gear, already gone, veered into the bush after its mad rush up the narrow ravine without the engine striking a tree. This saved the lives of the passengers, preventing telescoping and fire. (2) One of the chairs from the cabin on the site of the first night’s lean-to encampment near the aeroplane. (3) The shack the men built on the second day, one-eighth of a mile down the valley at the edge of the lake where they built bonfires and spread wing fabric to signal rescue planes. (4) Scene at the South Porcupine landing with the three rescue aircraft ready to fly to bring out the men after they were found Saturday. (5). Ed. Ahr, pilot, who found the marooned men, and flew them singly to Moose Lake, where they were relayed to the other aeroplanes, which could not land on the small lake. (6) Karl Eyre, of Timmins, who accompanied Ahr as observer, organized the flying trip, and was the last man to come in. (7) O. L. Scoop Evanss, of Timmins, who with Rev. Father Therieault organized the flying trip, and was the last man to come in. (8) Father C. E. Theriault, of St. Anthony’s church, Timmins, as he landed from the rescue plane, as big and jovial as ever. (9) J. R. Gauley, optician, of Timmins, one of the rescued men, (10) Lorne Stone, of Timmins, another of the rescued party. (11) Mike Pourpore, pilot of the National Air Transport, who flew The Star from Sudbury to South Porcupine. (12). E. M. Chinn, dental mechanic, another of those in the crash.
