B-25 Mid-air - 12 Jan 1943 - Chakulia, India - 341 BG
On a training mission on 12 Jan 1943 two of three participating B-25s of 341BG/22BS had a mid-air collision near their base at Chakulia, India. All 11 crew of the B-25s involved were killed. Names on airforcehistoryindex, but not who was in what B-25.
Both aviationarchaeology and accident-report.com have 41-12671 (Lt William Alton) and 41-31436 (Lt Samuel Dickinson).
Latter #436 not quite correct, for this serial was a Vultee Vengeance that saw service with the RAAF (A27-520) and later RAN.
Joebaugher refers to more possible B-25 41-12436 instead, but here it says "sold by War Assets Corp. to Paul Mantz Feb 19, 1946"...
Can 41-12436 still be correct after all?
Any info welcome, thanks.
Regards,
Leendert
