Investigation by Seattle revealed INGALL under all possible spelling combinations, was never employed with United Airlines in any capacity. Further INGALL was not employed at Boeing Aircraft Corporation; and credit criminal and Department of Motor Vehicle checks at Seattle were negative.

It was further determined that INGALL was never employed by Mc Donnell - Douglas Corporation, but JOSEPH DOBRONSKI, Chief Test Pilot, Mc Donnell - Douglas, stated he did know of INGALL, possibly spelled INGALE, who had taken part in a research project at Edwards Air Force Base flying a research aircraft.
