Re: C-54B - 43-17176 - ATC - Ascension Island - 10 May 1945

Various newspapers in the US reported deaths of the following around that time in an Ascension Island accident


T/Sgt Andrew L McBride

Unfortunately, that very week a USO boxer had returned from a tour of the troops, and the island name shows up in many hits as it was on his route home!
