Easton, Massachusetts – March 29, 1928
On March 29, 1928, a husband and wife took off from Buffalo, N. Y., in a small airplane bound for Boston. The couple had recently married. The husband was from a well established Massachusetts family; the bride was a known singer who had performed with the Chicago Opera. They’d met in Arizona while the husband was traveling the country by air. A few days later they married and continued traveling across the country eventually reaching Buffalo.
As the couple was approaching Boston, they decided to avoid publicity by landing at the East Boston Airport, and instead, land on the husband’s estate in Easton. Upon landing the plane flipped over injuring the bride’s back. The husband was not injured.
The type of airplane was not mentioned in the press.
