TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Eastern Air Lines letterhead, January 5, 1955. Rickenbacker responds to several suggestions for improvements in air travel. In part: “I am judging that your reference to the passengers having to walk to the terminal in the pouring rain were from some other airline. It is our policy to have large umbrellas available at all stations in case of bad weather…Your idea of having metal or rubber folding clasps on the side of serving trays so that they can be attached to the seat ahead would, I am afraid, develop some difficulty. However, this is being passed along to our Engineering Department to see if something of this nature could be worked out.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition.
