Many years ago I saw a photo of a Dakota that crashed during WW2 near Dartmoor. I have no info but if anyone has any info or even a copy of the photo.

Thanks,

When you say "Dakota" do you mean AAF or RAF?

You can do a search for "Dakota" for each year, may ring a bell?

Hiya mate,

It was a US bird, and came down near Bridestowe but cannot find anything on her!!

I remember the photo it was not too bad and a belly landing. There was a camp of US engineers based nearby and they helped with the recovery.
I am not going mad and there just seems to be nothing on the crash.
Thanks

You can go month by month, year by year and do a word search for "C-47" and see what turns up.
