Hello,the captain's name was Robert M.Weeks,(I have a first flight cover).I don't know the other ones,you're right,they are tough.However,the plane they had to abandone due to engines overheating,was not N735PA,but N733PA.Are you testing us,or did you look at the information on a page that also has it wrong,because there often seems to be some confusion on the tail numbers.Thank you.

: So for extra pop quiz credit:
: Name the 3 crew members that had to abandon
: the N735PA and instead took the Clipper
: Victor N736PA from JFK to Heathrow that
: night. The Captain's name is easier to
: find. The 1st Officer & Flight Engineer
: names may be more challenging.
:
: good luck.
