I remember many big prop planes flying over Detroit in my youth, including the "Boxcars". But also the big bombers.
Grew up in the city. In autumn, 1962, we were scared shitless in October, when Cuba missile crisis happened. I was attending Cadillac junior high school and had an afternoon Detroit News route, so I was allowed to ride a bicycle to school. (That and the fact that it was a mile and a half from home to school.) There were two times when the papers were late. The first was that two weeks in October, 1962. There were many big airplanes overhead during those weeks. The second time was on November 22, 1963. When the Detroit News was finally delivered on that tragic day, the newsboys were universally horrified by the headline.
Here it is, the editor should have been fired on the spot:
