Re: P47 crash in a sleepy English village
Trapper, a Google search turned up this:
http://www.peakdistrictaircrashes.co...nds42-7925.htm
" Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 42-7925 of the 495th FTG USAAF, crashed on the edge of the town of Nantwich in Cheshire on the 14th January 1944 after entering a high speed dive at 24,000ft. The assumption in the crash report is that the pilot suffer anoxia and passed out." |
