Hmmmm. I'd like to see another source on that because I've been following this from the beginning and I NEVER seen any proof of this. How did Farah access US Immigration records to prove this item, and why is nobody else reporting it?
I had a son about the same time (June 1961) and I can assure you that I was not traveling ANTWHERE in my 8th, or 9th, month -- certainly not to a 3rd world country -- to give birth.
The ONLY way that I can imagine that this actually happened is that I've read that BO's grandfather was furious that his son had gotten a white girl pregnant and wrote a scathing letter against "mixing blood" to his student son. It is possible that the couple made a trip to Africa to appease the old man. But, whoever made the statement about airlines refusing to allow very pregnant women to fly is correct. That was the rule at the time.
It also was policy at the time that US airlines liked to recruit their stewardesses from the ranks of nurses for just such an emergency. THey weren't all nurses, but the airlines would offere preference to nurses at the time.
