C-54B - 43-17176 - ATC - Ascension Island - 10 May 1945

On 10 May 1945 an ATC C-54B (43-17176) crashed while landing at Wideawake Field, Ascension Island, South Atlantic.

Reportedly 18 people on board, of whom 12 were killed. Pilot was (Lt) Hugh L. Garnett, who survived.

Of passengers who died I found one name: Capt. Joseph J. Moidel (O-569440) who was with the ATC Africa-Middle East Wing and was returning home.

Any more names of those involved welcome, thanks.

Regards,

Leendert
