Re: 1942 - Tiger Moth Fatal crashes ?
Hello,
Found some of what I am seeking. Turns out to be the 17th October 1942. Three aircraft are all I could find in the UK and one in S. Rhodesia, which was T8232 which hit DX540( went to SAAF as 2327 and SoC in 1948). The three in the UK were: DE302 - Glider Pilots Exercise Unit - which stalled near Netheravon. So far no details on its crew. DE826 - USAAF from 12.10.42 - Piloted by Lawrence S. McKee of HqSq, 67th Obs Gp. It hit a "YMCA" Tea Truck where an Elizabeth Bissley and a second unknown person were, this was at RAF Membury. DE933 - USAAF - Piloted by Stanley E. Marsh of 107th ObsSq, 67th Obs Gp.also at RAF Membury. this a/c later became M4075M so reverted back to the RAF at some later date. Both of these pilots were alone in their a/c it would seem. So back to DE302, The pilot and perhaps a second man I cannot find. However on this day 1st Lt. Rollin W. Karg, 15070363/O-659134 ( from Ohio ) of the 10th TCS, 60thTCG USAAF was killed (DNB) when his Tiger Moth crashed. Details on the crash of DE302 and the name or names of it crew are most welcome.
