When was the first proven act of air sabotage in the history of commercial aviation?
On October 10, 1933, a Boeing 247 propliner operated by United Air Lines crashed near Chesterton, Indiana. The transcontinental flight, carrying three crew and four passengers, had originated in Newark, New Jersey, with its final destination in Oakland, California. It had already landed in Cleveland and was headed to its next stop in Chicago when it exploded en route. All aboard died in the crash, which was proven to have been deliberately caused by an on-board explosive device.

Peggy Tinsley, if a question interests you and you want to know more than the answer gives, the simple solution is to look up the subject and learn about it yourself. Do not expect someone else to give you the answers all of the time.

George Oliver Prince, using the same logic I Tok a double chance on the 2 earlier dates. To be honest, I expected 1925 to be more likely.

It actually wanted to know when the crash was, that was later proven to be sabotage....Glenn Harshman,
George Oliver Prince
Aviation was becoming more common during that period, so it made sense

Lucky guess on my part.

The question says nothing about charges being made, it just wants to know when sabotage was proven.

No suspect was ever Identified or charged and remains unsolved
Judy Corino
It doesn’t say who if anybody was held responsible.
