This was another action arising out of the crash of an airplane near Albuquerque, New Mexico, on February 19, 1955. The airplane was owned and operated by Trans World Airlines, Inc., a common carrier. Ivan R. Spong was the pilot in charge of the flight, and William Richard Campbell and Alfred Garrison Schoon-maker, Jr., were passengers. All three were killed.
