Crash of B-17 tanker N621L in July 1975
Often published data is that this B-17G tanker (44-85774 N621L), operated by Aircraft Specialties, crashed in July 1975, probably on July 1. I have the names of two B-17 pilots who were killed also in 1975. However, there is no NTSB crash record of this airplane and I can't find any media record of a B-17 tanker crash in 1975. The WIX registry shows this crash date, taken probably from the Warbirds Worldwide series, and the date has shown up elsewhere (including my Aero Vintage site), probably from the same source. Does anyone have specific date, location, or details of the accident?
