DOUG MCDONALD
1946 - 1961
PILOT
SLC BIL PHX


IN MEMORIA
All of us with Frontier Airlines extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Douglas H. McDonald
of Phoenix - a fine husband, a devoted father and a sincere friend to all who were fortunate in knowing him.
Captain McDonald's doctor describes Doug's death as caused by squamous carcinoma.
Most of us would better understand it as malignant cancer.
Doug joined Monarch Air Lines in November, 1946.  Later in June, 1947, he signed on with Challenger
Airlines in Salt Lake City.  Then in June, 1950, when the newly merger-formed Frontier Airlines
began operations in Phoenix, he was an original member of the crews domiciled there.
For one and a half years in the mid-50s Doug was based in Billings before transferring back to Phoenix.
Captain McDonald flew his last flight on January 30, 1961.  He is survived by his wife, Virginia,
two daughters, Dawn and Diann, and two sons, Scott and Stuart.

Need a better photo of Doug and still need an obituary.
Doug was one of the few who worked for Monarch, Challenger and Frontier Airlines.
