Edward G. Wagland - FAA FX605591 - 10 Jan 1945

Joe Baugher's website has a Boeing N2S-3 Stearman crash on 10 Jan 1945 (BuNo 05346) with the RN pilot being killed. Mid-air collision was cause.

Naval-history.net has for that day Leading Airman Edward. G. Wagland. He's buried in Kokomo, IN, giving an indication of location of accident.

He was attached to HMS Saker, a/the collective name for RN personnel in the US.

Looking for confirmation of Wagland being involved in this accident indeed, and info welcome about identity of other a/c in mid-air (not known to me if there were more casualties).

Regards,

Leendert
