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
