Re: Stinson solution
Hi All,
after a while of intense research, we are able to send a successful
solution on Stinson mystery. First step was the find of the pilot´s name
in police report „Maj. Maxwell David CROSS, crash on Simming Glacier, Tyrol, between May or June 1946“. Nothing more.
So we now had a name.
The search for the military history of Maj.Maxwell David CROSS began. Alex Smart, well known 12 o Clock member, discovered day of crash and fotos, he found that Cross was a soldier of a US army division and found Cross´ unfortunate flight route in wrong direction. Therefore Cross is not a USAAF case, Cross was a Stinson pilot for the 8th armored artillery division.
Cross crashed far apart from civilisation quite lonely aready on 22nd Dec. 1945 into Simming galcier ice on Tyrolean Alps. He melted out of snow and ice between May and July 1946. On 27 July 1946 his wife was informed about her husband`s death".
