AT-6 in the ETO
 

Two American airmen are buried in the Cambridge American Cemetery with date of death 17-9-1944:
David E. CRUICKSHANK and William R. TAYLOR, both of 55th FS, 20th FG.
It's known that Cruickshank was killed on AT-6D 42-84591 at Walsham near Coltishall in Norfolk.
In the History of the 20th FG is mentioned that both airmen were killed in a mid-air collision.
Were both flying on 42-84591 and which aircraft was also involved in this mid-air collision, or were they both single occupants of an AT-6 ?
Regards and thanks for your help.
Henk.

Henk,

On website Airforcehistoryindex.org Taylor is mentioned with Cruickshank under same Accident Report.
In my opinion this indicates they were in the same AT-6.

Leendert,
Confirmed by UK informant that both airmen were on same AT6; engine failed and crashed on meadow land near North Walsham.
