Henry Tindall "Dick" Merrill was the Eastern Airlines captain on that
flight. Judging from the account below, and Merrill's book, The
Wings Of Man," it would appear that Merrill and Godfrey were personal
friends.


He looked rather nervous and unhappy in the film, but perhaps he
wasn't used to being in the movies. I was surprised that he turned
down Godfrey's offer of a Chesterfield cigarette.


Why, that "yer brand"?
