It does not appear that either of the above individuals fits description of the unknown subject.

MR. PIZER advised he can locate no other records of pilots or flight engineers with information similar to that supplied in referenced San Francisco communication.

In the event additional investigation is desired, attempts should be made to identify the TWA Flight Engineer, said to have been previously interview[e]d by the FBI in this matter, for information that would identify the Braniff employees referred to by him.
