USAAF Accident Reports- Where to look?

Post by Chappie »

Good day everyone. I'm new to this forum, I signed up about two weeks ago, and it seems there are several here that are very adept to finding a lot of historical information. My dad recently told me that my grandfather was a bombadier instructor during WWII. While based at Lowry Field, Colorado he was in the nose of a Beech 18 (presumably an AT-11) that ground looped and flipped on its back. According my dad my grandfather suffered some minor back trouble the rest of his life.

If this oral history is true I would like to see if I can locate the accident report, because from what I've seen on this forum the crew of the aircraft are listed on the report.


Cheers,
Chappie

Go to the excellent index at Craig Fuller's AAIR website: Go to www.aviationarchaeology.com to find out if there is a report.

What date did the accident happen.
