An eye-witness asked me to help ID a two-engined aircraft, which flew over her home, with the left engine on fire. She saw one person on a parachute and then saw the aircraft explode and maps rain down around her. The plane then impacted the ground about one kilometer from her location.

I could not find a Carrier Command loss in that area and as I am not near my own records for another two weeks, wonder if any of you Experten have a lead for me?

Thanks, Danny
