3 Marine Flyers Killed As Planes Hit Mountain
Hartford Courant - Jun 26, 1941
Honolulu, June 25.--(AP.)--Three United States Marine flyers, flying in three Navy planes in formation through a blinding rain, were killed last night. They struck the west side of Mount Haleakala an 8000-foot extinct volcano on Maui Island. The dead were First Lieutenant William M. Ferris of Lakewood, NJ; Second Lieutenant Warner Hagemann, Jr., Kansas City, Kansas and Second Lieutenant Clyde H. Story, address not available.
All three planes were demolished. Heavy rain over the mountain had reduced visibility to zero.
Still need to match crewman to aircraft if possible
Just found out Second Lieutenant Warner Hagemann, Jr. was on #1028 just need to sort out other two now
