The Crash Of An Air France Constellation The Azores October 28, 1949

A plane crash in the Portuguese Azores in October 1949 was devastating to the worlds of boxing and concert music. The tragedy took the life of Marcel Cerdan, a former middleweight champion and the most talented and revered French athlete of the post World War II era. Ginette Neveu, a violin virtuoso and former teen prodigy also died on the Lockheed L-749 Constellation. My e-book discusses the causes of the event in which the plane crashed against a mountain peak while it was enveloped in cloud covering. The business sector also suffered from the plane crash as a number of important executives died aboard, including one who was an important member of the Walt Disney advertising organization.
