She was very patriotic. Died after a war bonds drive. Clark Gable never got over her death. I think she was the #1 Hollywood beauty ever. Jean Simmons being #2. Marilyn Monroe #3.
The cause of the crash was probably because the the copilot was used to landing at Boulder City airport. This time they had to land at Las Vegas to refuel and unfortunately he put in the coordinates as if they they were taking off from Boulder City. This put them on a direct course to Mt.Potosi where they crashed just short of the top of the mountain. I learned about all this after trying to find the crash site of Bonanza Airlines Flight 114 on November 15, 1964 during a rare snowstorm killing all 29 on board. This was important to me because I saw the wreckage of Bonanza 114 on Walter Cronkite CBS news the next day when I was 7 years old. Bonanza Airlines F-27 planes flew right over our house on half mile final approach to Blythe Airport.
