The Real Deal

There is no mystery about the name of “Janet Airlines”. The story most likely was not written down because there was no need for it. All the original test pilots would have known. Janet was a 4-year-old girl with Polio in an Iron Lung at Boston City Hospital.

Her uncle was recruited by the US Gov. from the Royal Canadian Air Force to test fly the first American made jet. He most like had dual citizenship. His parents were French Canadian and he was brought up in Manchester, NH. Canada was in the war before we were; it gave him an escape from the French convent where he was raised with his sister. And it also gave him a five-year head start on his flight training.

When the US government realized he could speak 5 languages, was a natural cryptographer and a published journalist they saw the opportunity to have him flying espionage missions for the CIA while working as a “war correspondent” in France, Turkey & Siam. During this time he met Leon Uris who wrote him in as a “cameo appearance” in his book “Exodus”.

The doctors said Janet would never walk, her uncle and parents were very upset. She didn’t care if she didn’t walk but was determined to so they would not be sad. The Iron Lung was very claustrophobic and her uncle mentally guided her to soar above it. He told her if she could not walk it was because God wanted her to fly. He said his favorite plane was the one that took him to work and he called it Janet. It caught on probably because he was a very charismatic person and also it is easier to call something by a name than not too. It is more definitive. Also, once a boat or plane is given a woman’s name there is a superstition against changing it. There is speculation that it is an anagram; well it may be. If you are a cryptographer how do you put a name in place? You choose the name you want to use and then plug in the words that fit. The others that flew with him knew the truth..

His immediate superior was General John Sanford, who was head of Intelligence and responsible for a lot of cover-ups. Just check him out on-line and you’ll get a few surprises.

I am JanetRoberta and my uncle was Robert “Red” Constant. He lived to see me walk and run. And I miss him every day. He was killed in 1952; there was a contract out on his life, most likely for his involvement in the “Mercy Mission” flying 40,000 Jew out of Iraq and into Israel. Going back and forth, never knowing when he would be found out and killed.

He thought he was safe but when he got that last phone call to co-pilot a flight over the Alps as a favor to someone, my mother begged him not to go. She knew it was a set-up and most likely it was. It was shot down, killing all seven aboard. My mother was never the same, not I.

You can see his picture on the site spacecowboysaloon.com look under “The Real Stuff: The X-Planes and the men who flew them” then under “BellX1” the first experimental plane. Jack Woolams, Ed Hensley & Slick Goodlin are with him. They became well known because they were flying for the military not the CIA. The government did a good job of making Uncle Red invisible.

At the time of his death he had signed a Hollywood contract to screen write and narrate “Death Valley Days”. They had to hire temporary replacements to narrate and then gave Ronald Reagan the job.

The story was never about Janet. It’s about Robert Constant and what I’ve written here is only a brief summary. What a joy he was for the short time I had him and what a loss his death was for humanity.

I can verify who he was and what he did and that he had the influence to do it. I know he named the first plane and the others followed but I cannot prove it. But I don't have to. It matters only to me. If people want to think it's a mystery or secret they are free to do that. The real story is so much better. Janet isn't important except that she was so important to him and the story is about him. How blessed am I, to have had him as my uncle and he has never left me. This story was too painful to tell while my mother was alive, and then I felt compelled to get his story out.JanetRoberta 04:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)JanetRoberta

 * I should read talk pages more often, seems like I'm four years late reading this! Fascinating story for sure! :) BabyNuke (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

A nice story but, this is called "anecdotal evidence" as we can not determine the voracity of your claims. And how could we?--Degen Earthfast (talk) 17:07, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
