On the Cover: Captain Jim Roberts shows us the humble predecessor of the American Airlines Boeing 727s he flies today. The Curtiss Condor he holds was the epitome of American Airways airliner comfort in the early 1930s. Laddie Mikulasko designed this unique model for twin geared 15 electrics. Photo: Frank Fanelli
