Re: Edward G. Wagland - FAA FX605591 - 10 Jan 1945

Should have dug deeper. before posting thread
Now found a newspaper article (The Indianapolis Star, 13 Jan 1945) identifying Leading Airman Wagland in the collision.

In other aircraft was FAA student pilot Peter Robertson, who was injured.

But there were two USN flying instructor fatalities: Lt (jg) Wells Robert Church and Lt (jg) Thomas W. Jones.

Not sure if name Wells R. Church is reported correctly in newspaper.

Their base was Bunker Hill NAS, Indiana

Regards,

Leendert
