    About EAL:
    Eastern Air Lines was a major American airline from 1926 to 1991.
    Before its dissolution, it was headquartered at MIA in Miami, Florida (Previously Headquartered in NYC until 1975).  It was one of the "Big Four" domestic airlines created by the Spoils Conferences of 1930.  In 1938 World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker bought Eastern from General Motors.
    Rickenbacker pushed Eastern into a period of growth and innovation; for a time Eastern was the most profitable airline in the post-war era, never needing state subsidy.
    It had a near monopoly in air travel between New York and Florida from the 1930s until the 1950s and dominated this market for decades afterward.
    In the late 1950s Eastern's position was eroded by subsidies to rival airlines and the arrival of the jet age. On October 1, 1959, Rickenbacker's position as CEO was taken over by Malcolm A. MacIntyre, a brilliant lawyer but a man inexperienced in airline operations.
    In the late 1970s and early 1980s, during the deregulation, labor disputes and high debt loads strained the company under the leadership of former astronaut Frank Borman. Frank Lorenzo acquired Eastern in 1985 and moved many of its assets to his other airlines, including Continental Airlines and Texas Air. After continued labor disputes and a crippling strike in 1989, Eastern ran out of money and was liquidated in 1991.
    We have quite a few other Eastern items we will be listing from the same estate.
