Monday, October 9, 1933, began as a gray day in Seattle. A gray day in a gray time. Along the waterfront seaplanes from the Gorst Air Transport Company rose slowly from the surface of Puget Sound and droned westward, flying low under the cloud cover, beginning their short hops over to the naval shipyard at Bremerton.
