Late pilot s fate
On 14th July 1955 crashed a Thunderbolt in Ötztal, Tirol, Austria.
The unfortunate pilot was killed. His name is Kinney Charles, perhaps from AU (stralia). Do you have any more info about the mission, a portrait, grave location, why Australia etc. We are compiling the sad event for the local museum with fotos of the crashed engine and propeller. Many thanks for your replies. dnalor |
