Re: B-24D LIBERATOR 42-40474 info needed....

Hiya all,

I am trying to get any information unit, aircraft name, aircrew info on:

CONSOLIDATED B-24D LIBERATOR 42-40474 , HAMBLE DOWN, DARTMOOR
Airbourne from Alconbury Air Station in Cambridgeshire on the 27th December 1943, the aircraft was on the third leg of a cross-country training flight. This part of the route was intended to take the aircraft from over Taunton to Bude Bay, but the plane deviated south and was 20 miles off the planned route when it flew into cloud covered hill and burned out. All 8 crew members were killed.*
