61197 60th Troop Carrier Squadron, 63rd Troop Carrier Group, Victorville Army Flying School, CA.
Crashed without a pilot at Blythe AAB, CA 16Dec42. The C-53 42-47379 took off from
South Plains Army Air Field towing the Waco CG-4A glider being ferried to Victorville Army
Flying School at Victorville, California. The flight plan included an overnight stop at
Tucson, Arizona. In addition to the flight crew the aircraft also carried four passengers.
It was almost dark when the tow plane/glider combination arrived over Blythe Army Air Field,
California, 150 miles south of Victorville. Suddenly, the glider pilot saw a light
blinking in the astrodome of the C-53, the normal night signal for the pilot to release the
glider. Believing they were over Tucson, their planned overnight stop, the pilot released his
glider and landed. Once on the ground he began staking down the glider and adding chocks to
the ailerons, elevators and rudder. Just as he completed preparing the glider for an
overnight stay the tower notified him that the C-53 pilot had radioed that the glider had
landed at the wrong base. The tower operator added that the C-53 was landing to retrieve
the glider. The C-53 copilot had erroneously given the cutoff signal. After the tow plane
landed it took some time for base personnel to locate the tow rope in the fading light.
The glider pilot tried to convince the tow pilot to remain overnight but he refused.
Eye-witnesses indicated that the tow pilot appeared to be anxious to get underway.
He taxied the C-53 to a point adjacent to the east end of the east-west runway and stopped.
The glider copilot took a flashlight and motioned the tow plane into position on the runway.
Then the glider was towed into position behind the tow plane. When the glider was in position
the tow rope was hooked to the C-53 while the glider pilot hooked it to the CG-4A,
one of many mistakes; the tow rope was not to be hooked to the glider until both pilots were
in their seats with their safety belts fastened. The glider pilot instructed an aircraft
mechanic from the base to get the flashlight and stand by the left wingtip of the tow plane
so he could signal the tow pilot to take up the slack in the tow rope.
Just before entering the glider the pilot noticed that the chocks had not been removed from the
ailerons, elevators and rudder. He instructed his copilot to remove the chocks from the
right aileron while he removed them from the elevators and rudder. He started for the
left aileron when suddenly the glider began moving forward. The tow pilot had interpreted
the half-moon signal given to take up the tow rope slack as the signal to take off.
As the glider moved forward the glider pilot ran for the door of the glider but never made it;
the glider was moving too fast. Before he and his copilot could get out of the way,
the rear elevator struck them and knocked them down. The tow plane took off and made a 270
degree turn to the right, flew south a short distance, turned left and then made a 360 degree
turn to the right. At this point the tow plane was over the south edge of the field at
approximately 400 feet when the pilot released the glider. The aircraft accident report
indicated that the pilotless glider collided with the tow plane damaging the left horizontal
stabilizer causing the pilot to lose control of the aircraft. The C-53 stalled and
crashed almost immediately followed by the glider a short distance away [8KIS].

The plane led by a Captain Paszkiewicz was over Poland, but they didn't find a place to receive the
airdrop. When returning to Campo Cassale, the conditions did not allow you to see the runway
(heavy rain and lighting failure), even though the plane was heard. Looking for runway and fuel
consumption lasted almost two hours. The crew was probably directed to Grottaglie Airport,
located 4 km from the city of Grottaglie and 16 km from Taranto. At that airport there were
aircraft of the 15th Air Force (B-24 Liberator) and 416th Night Fighting Squadron (Bristol Beaufigher).
This airfield is now an active airport and is called Taranto-Grottaglie "Marcello Arlotta" Airport.
Pilot Platoon-leader Zygmunt Du?ski reported that there was a total lack of visibility and the crew
was planning to increase the ceiling and jump with parachutes. The rain was freezing, the airplane
was iced and climbed up with difficulty. All heavy cargo of armament in drop containers (not dropped
in Poland) was still on board. Soon after this report there was a disaster. The Liberator GR-T,
at 05:10, suddenly fell down in the centre of city Villa Castelli, on the main street leading to
the market square and the town hall. The airplane entered a storey building at 142 Vittorio
Emanuele Street, 5 people died in the ruins of the building, the entire Italian family of many
generations. One person was injured. The fall of the plane fell at a large angle, as only one
building was destroyed in the compact development of the city centre and the adjacent buildings
suffered minor damage. One of the engines of the bomber was found several hundred meters away,
on the neighbouring street. All the airmen were killed. A fire broke out, which was quickly extinguished.

Fairchild M-62C license built by Fleet Aircraft of Canada as Cornell II for RAF.
Fleet had its own construction number sequence. The MSNs quoted below are from Canadian Aircraft; they appear to
follow a Fairchild system which uses T4x-xxxx so there may be a prefix digit missing. Fleet
Aircraft’s own MSN system uses Fx123 which is similar to
RAF serials and may be the source of comments relating to the MSN being the RAF serial.

68223 (MSN 422-2734) listed as the aircraft flown by the novelist Antoine de Saint-Exupery
when lost July 31, 1944 north of
the coast from Corsica near the island of Riou. Belonged to French squadron
Groupe de Reconnaissance GR II/33 within the 3rd Photo Group.
Part of the wreckage was found in 70 meters of water March/April 2004.
The German pilot who (most probably) shot down St-Ex, was Horst Rippert who confirmed to be the
responsible person, he acknowledged having shot down a Lightning at this time / date and location,
partially supported by reports of a German radar station close to Lyon.
It can't be said with guaranty that the story was as described.
Tentatively reported that some of the recovered
parts were those from a Bf 109, indicating that a midair collision might have taken place
But this BF 109 was flown by Alexis zu Bentheim und Steinfurt, a German
nobleman (Prince to be accurate), he was killed in action on Dec 2nd 1943. So it is a coincidence
that both wrecks were found in the same area.
68225 belonged to the 28th Photo Recon Squadron. Stationed at Isley Field on Saipan,,Marianas Islands on July 10,1944.

Burtonwood (Station 590), near Warrington with a crew of five and four passengers. Half way into the flight while
flying at about 600? above ground level the starboard wing tip “crumpled” up. The two pilots immediately decided to
force land the aircraft. The pilot landed the aircraft on top of Ossoms Hill near Grindon, Derbyshire, the aircraft caused
damaged to three stone walls before coming to a halt. All of the crew and passengers were able to vacate the
aircraft without injury. Examination of the failed wing tip showed that there were scratches on the upper
surface which matched with the first row of heavy rivets on the under side of the wing of all varients of the Dakota.
These marks were probably caused during taxing at Langar and the internal structure of the aircraft had been
weakened causing the eventual failure.

nurses and thirteen medical technicians of the 807th Medical Air Evacuation Squadron were on board when the
plane left Catania together with two other planes and headed for Bari, Italy, a flight of two hours. Shortly after
the planes had left Catania, they came into snow storms. The radio operator onboard of this C-53 could not
make radio contact with the control tower at Bari. The crew decided that they were lost. There was no trace of
the other two planes. After some four hours flying, the weather c1eared. The pilot discovered an airfield and
prepared for a landing. Suddenly the plane was fired upon and the pilot had to make a forced landing with
wheels up in a muddy field. When the plane came to a halt, armed men surrounded it; these men were
partisans and it turned out that the plane had landed in Albania. Luckily the partisans were pro-American.
The men were in a hurry and took the Americans to a safe place. They traveled from village to village and,
together with the partisans, Christmas was celebrated. They all moved on 27Dec43. Soon the Germans were
after the group and they were fired upon. The group could get away, but became separated; three nurses
stayed behind. In the meantime the partisans had contacted the allies and British commandos were
dropped near the group to assist them. The entire group moved in the direction of the coast, where a boat of the
Royal Navy waited for them. The group arrived in Italy on 9Jan44; the three nurses who had been separated
from the group were smuggled to Italy by the partisans and arrived in Italy Mar44.

In bad weather, the crew elected to avoid the direct route over the Alps instead heading around the mountains
via Munich, Germany, Strasbourg, Dijon and Marseille, France. The crew became disoriented near
Innsbruck, Austria, narrowly avoiding several alpine peaks, and crash landed on the Gauli Glacier in the
Bernese Alps, Switzerland at an altitude of 10,990 ft (3,350 m). On board were eight passengers (among
them two high-ranking officers of the US armed forces, four women and one 11-year-old girl) and four crew.
Several people were injured, but there were no fatalities. The crew thought the aircraft had crashed in the French Alps.
The aircraft was not located until the morning of 22Nov46 after an epic search and rescue operation, but rescuers
were unable to reach the crash site until the afternoon of 23Nov46. Too late for a safe descent the same day,
the following morning the survivors were taken down to a hut after which they were flown out by a couple of
Fieseler Storch aircraft, the first alpine rescue by aircraft. Aircraft salvaged 17Mar47.

68939 Bell Aircraft Corporation, Wheatfield, NY. Crashed after the pilot bailed out when he was
unable to recover from a flat spin 3.5 miles north of Niagara Falls Municipal Airport, NY 29Apr44.
The Russians were in Buffalo testing the P-63A and reviewing the modifications made to eliminate
issues found with the P-39 Airacobra. An excessive aft center of gravity with the P-39 would,
under certain loading conditions, induce a spin which would develop into a more serious flat spin.
Another problem had been insufficient rigidity with the rear fuselage. Not convinced that American
designers had fully solved these issues, Colonel Kochetkov took a new aircraft for a test flight.
Having entered a flat spin, he was unable to recover and, at 900 meters, jettisoned the door
and bailed out. Bell management recognised that they needed to enhance the anti-spin
performance and took the Colonel to a restaurant to celebrate
