Did you know: PAL maiden flight

Philippine Airlines had its maiden flight on March 15, 1941, with a twin-engine, five-seater Beech Model 18 aircraft, which was flown from the Nielson airfield in Makati to Baguio City. Operated by American pilots Paul Gunn and Emil Scott, the plane carried five passengers. The Nielson Tower now houses the Filipinas Heritage Library.—Schatzi Quodala, Inquirer Research
