You are bidding on a 1960s Eastern Airline Air Crew Wing. The wing is used and is in good condition with limited signs of wear or age. The wing has the so-called “hockey stick” Falcon logo. The reverse side has a clutch back faster and comes with top-hat style clutches that are in good working order. These wings were used up until the 1970s when they switch to an enameled center. Founded in 1926 as Pitcairn Aviation, Eastern Air Lines (1934) grew under the leadership of famed aviator Eddie Rickenbacker to become one of the "Big Four" domestic airlines that dominated American commercial flight. However, a combination of heavy debt, severe union labor disputes, and industry deregulation forced the airline to file for bankruptcy and cease all operations in January 1991.
