On this day in 1981... Jack Northrop dies from Flight International by Barbara Cockburn

The first death Flight referred to was that of Donald Douglas, who died earlier in the month as Flight reported in its 14 February issue...

MI's cover and the Convair drawing above show what this sensational development may mean to commercial air travel of the future. Imagine a supersonic jetliner, too large to be handled efficiently at even our largest airports but perfectly capable of squatting at any of our innumerable seaports and being nuzzled to its dock by tugs! In addition to passenger convenience and greater capacity is the extra safety factor in trans-oceanic hops. ...
