More than 35,000 persons jammed Logan International Airport last month as American Airlines held open house to introduce its new Convair-Liners, which recently started service between Boston and New York. Nearly 700 persons took air tours over Greater Boston, and thousands more filed through a Convair-Liner that was open for inspection. So many persons stormed the AA ticket counter to make reservations for the $2.50 sightseeing flights that extra police had to be called. In addition to the Convair, two DC-3s and a DC-4 were pressed into service to accommodate those wishing to make a flight. To the left of the Convair- Liner shown above is an American Airlines DC-4 airfreighter, which also was open for inspection.
