Leendert,

Thanks for this. Wondering how you identified this pilot's name. And if he was the pilot or co-pilot. Also, she stated circling DC but another posting from WW2.Aviation.net states this crash happened in Hampton, Virginia, which is closer to Langley.

Here's the reason I was asking about it. My sister is working with a woman who said her father was killed in a B-57 crash in 1955 when she was 2 months old.

Her name is Daryln Brewer Hoffstott. Not sure if her last name is Brewer (maiden ? ) or Hoffstott ( married ?).

She told my sister her father was a West Point grad. She said there were 5 B-57s departing Langley. She said that her Dad's was the first one, they circled around DC, and then his plane started to fail. She said her Father and the co-pilot were able to eject, but he hit some part of the plane on ejection, and was lost. The co-pilot survived , severely injured, and lost both legs.

Thanks, Tony
