At the same time, the extremely tough and
competent investigators of the Air Safety Board
are eternally busy, discovering the cause of
every accident and making certain that that
cause is eliminated.
Last fatal air line crash came on March

in a forced landing near Oklahoma City. In
vestigation showed the cause was a defective
hold-down bolt on a motor cylinder. Those bolts
were traced, removed from airplane motors all
over the country.
The board has cracked down on piltos, too.
One source of trouble was that some of the
veteran flyers felt they knew more about the
job than any air line executive or government
inspector, and hence refused to abide by GER
