Thank you very much Roger.
That's exactly what I thought but Dan wasn't convinced.
Holt's crash at Pittsburg on 19 August 1945 during ferry flight to Freeman.

Holt's report being the following:
I came into land and used up about 500 feet of runway before I touched down. When I applied the brakes several times there were none. If I had brakes there would have been no problem. When no braking action occurred, I immediately looked out ahead . It appeared the runway slope upwards from its end into a corn field. This was the first time I had been into this aerodrome. I did not know there was a 30 foot drop off the end until I finally reached the end of that runway. Luckily I had enough speed to hurtle over and hold the aircraft steady.
When I hit the upward-sloping field, the impact tore off the landing gear and both engines, and broke the fuselage just behind the cockpit before the aircraft slid to a halt. I immediately exited, with my parachute attached, until some 30 or 40 yards from the aircraft. When I looked back, it was a pall of smoke and dust. My shoes were wet with fuel. The billowing cloud hid me from the fire trucks and they thought for sure I had not survived.

Hence, Dan was expecting to see something burned to ashes !
Pity the links didn't work for a post dated 31 March 2019.

Thanks again.
