Fighter pilot honored.
I've been around East Boston my whole life and I've never heard this story. In 1954, a fighter pilot named Lt. James Conway was taking off from Logan Airport on a mission to intercept an unknown plane off the coast of Maine. Shortly after take-off, he lost control of the jet. Rather than eject and save himself and letting his plane crash into the local neighborhood, Lt. Conway crashed his F-94 fighter jet in an open area on Bayswater Street. The city of East Boston is erecting a bronze plaque in his honor.
