Re: Info April 12th 1943. Twin bomber crash on the island of St Vincent, British West Indies
Thank you Martin. There would not have been a consular presence here then, in fact even today the nearest office is an embassy in Barbados. My best bet is to try and get something from the local archives department, which is a bit disorganised. In this still very old fashioned society an exhumation in the late 40's or 50's would have caused a stir and it certainly remains in the lore when the accident is discussed. If there was an American on board a death certificate would have to have been issued so I will search for any evidence there.
Re your book, I guess it is looking at accidents with US aircraft, still it would be of interest to be. I will see if a used copy is around on the net.
Regards
Duncan
