Did anyone noticed the cigarette Mr. Godfrey was holding? I guess back then you just didn't have style and panache without having your picture with a cigarette |

Godfrey was a big sponsor of Chesterfield cigarettes. There's a short promotional film floating around on YouTube with him at the controls of an Eastern Airlines Constellation (he was a pilot in the AF Reserve and owned several planes) puffing away with a carton of Chesterfields in the cockpit. He died in 1983 from Emphysema. PS...for a combination, that Easy sure doesn't have many controls. |

Did Easy actually design and build the machine or did they re-badge a competitor's? I though that was the case with Crosley being made by the parent company of Bendix. |
