P-51 crash on Tinian
A friend of mine was a P-47 crew chief in the 413th FS. He was on Tinian for a while in summer 1945 and relays this story. He and other mechanics were on the flight line on a low overcast day when a P-51 came out of the overcast and was going to intersect a flight of P-47s. The P-51 dove quickly to go under them, then pulled up rapidly which caused the right wing to separate. The P-51 fluttered down and exploded directly in front of them, scattering fragments towards them. Anyone have any info about this incident?
