Capital Airways puts its first Vickers Viscount 40-passenger airliner into revenue service, being flown on the airline’s Washington, D.C.,-to-Chicago route. Capital is the first U.S. carrier to purchase the Viscount, the world’s first turboprop-powered airliner, and this flight marks the first time since World War I that a British-built aircraft is being flown in regular service over the United States.
U.S. Space Command has established an internal planning team, dubbed Tasked Force Voyager, to spearhead logistics for the combatant command's relocation from Colorado to Alabama.
