72523 (MSN 10628) In the USAF’s Assignment Records preserved at Maxwell AFB, C-54D 42-72523 is last
mentioned when it left regular air force service at Kadena, Okinawa on 9 February 1956 and
was transferred to an unknown outfit, coded “S ATEDEPTDAF”.95 The meaning of that code
is unknown, but it probably stands for: “terminated” as to regular USAF service and
transferred to a “special” unit reporting directly to the “Department of Defense / Air Force.”
Since that time, C-54D 42-72523 does no longer appear in the USAF Assignment Records.
Before 1956, this C-54D had belonged to the 581st Air Resupply and Communications Wing
at Kadena, Okinawa. When that unit was deactivated in 1956, most of their C-54s went to the
332nd Troop Carrier Squadron, Medium (Special), Kadena – reportedly including 2 special
mission C-54s that the 581st Air Resupply and Communications Wing had had before, that
had flown covert missions out of Taiwan during the fifties, often manned by CAT crews,96
and that in 1959/60 passed to Detachment 2, 1045th OETGP at Kadena.97 But while the later
history of all the other 8 C-54s operated by the 332nd TCS in late 195698 can be traced from
the USAF Assignment Records,99 revealing that all but one100 had left South East Asia before
1960, those 2 special mission C-54s do not appear in the USAF Assignment Records – like
the 2 special mission C-118s of the same unit.101 So, evidently C-54D 42-72523 was one of
them, and the second one may have been C-54G 45-558, the one that left regular USAF
service at Clark AFB and went to “top secret” on 20 June 1957 and whose previous history
has been omitted in the microfilm. As one of Major Aderholt’s men was on the second ill-
fated C-54, it was possibly already after the first C-54 had been impounded in Mexico that C-
54D 42-72523 joined the fleet at Retalhuleu. As 2 C-54s were to be used for training at Rayo
Base initially,102 a second C-54 was needed for October 60. This seems to have been the
mysterious C-54G HP-320 that was reportedly registered to Los Hermanos, although this
particular aircraft was also reported to have ditched in a small lake after take-off from NAS
Jacksonville airport on 15 October 1959 due to incorrect fuel management. Probably the
aircraft was repaired and used by the Fuerza Aérea de Liberación in the Bay of Pigs because at Puerto Cabezas,
the actual fleet comprised “10 C-54 transports”. These 10 C-54s are believed to have been
the 2 C-54s that had received official HP- registrations – possibly to be used as call-signs for
operations out of Retalhuleu – plus the 8 C-54Gs received from the USAF.
This aircraft is report as operating for Project DAF 53 and is implicated in a UFO sighting by another C-54 en route to Wake Island 14Feb58.

Damaged 23Jul44 in collision with P-47C 41-6202 taxying at Atcham. The aircraft crashed on
Greenway Hall Golf Course near Leek, Staffordshire August 24, 1944 after the pilot lost control
of the aircraft while performing aerobatics. The aircraft was on an instrument and aerobatics
training flight from Atcham with another P-47. After completing the instrument phase of the
flight both pilots commenced their assigned aerobatics training; while carrying out his
second Immelman the pilot lost control of his aircraft. The event was not seen by his wingman,
as by the time he realised the aircraft was missing it had already fallen into the cloud which
was at ~6,000ft. The aircraft was heard to dive at high speed and under power into the ground.
The pilot abandoned his aircraft but was killed when he opened his parachute immediately after
bailing out; this caused him to decelerate rapidly causing severe neck and spinal injuries.
He landed near to Rudyard, Staffordshire almost 5 miles from the crash site.

the investigators suspected either the propeller wash of the previous plane or the right ammunition
bay door came open in flight.

Gravesend, Kent; Pilot badly injured [he was later killed in the crash of P-47N 44-89014 at an
air show in Jamaica, 1947]. The pilot tried to land on the main road but had to swerve when a
lorry appeared. The plane had come down in the field opposite the Crown Garage. People were
running towards the plane and helped dig a hole so that they could get the pilot out as the cockpit
and front of the plane were upside down, although the rear half was the right way up. The pilot
was still strapped in his seat but was cut free and taken to Gravesend Hospital where he was
found to have a broken arm, broken rib and a nasty gash to his hand. On it's way down the plane
had hit several poles carrying the electricity supply to several properties nearby leaving
them with no power for any New Year celebrations. The aircraft had run out of fuel on its
way back to East Anglia and the pilot had tried to land on the road, not knowing that the
Gravesend airfield was only a couple of miles away. The pilot of the aircraft was returning
from a mission to provide penetration, target and withdrawal support to heavy bombers
during an attack on industrial targets in Paris, France. Due to the range and duration
of the mission, arrangements were made to refuel the squadron at Manston Aerodrome, Kent
prior to returning to their base at Leiston, Suffolk. Unfortunately there was only
sufficient fuel for nine aircraft at Manston so the remaining aircraft were given orders to
go to alternate refuelling aerodromes in South East of England.

75216 (MSN 3567) 61st FS [HV-B bar], 56th FG, 8th AF, Halesworth, Station 365; "Charming Ellen";
Crashed after engine failure near Lippelo, Belgium November 30, 1943 [the aircraft's first operational
mission]; Pilot bailed out and taken POW, later escaped. The fighter was on a mission escorting B-17’s
and B-24’s to Sölingen, but the engine developed a vapour lock. The fighter turned for home.
Over Belgium, the problem was solved and the pilot decided to attack some ground targets.
Near Puurs he dived to the ground and strafed a train. However, he was flying so low he hit a
telegraph pole which bent the propeller blades. The pilot pulled back on the control stick and
was able to climb high enough to bail out, whilst his fighter plane plunged into a meadow at
Mariekerke. The pilot was able to escape the German occupying forces and with the help of
local Belgians, he arrived in Brussels, where he was sheltered by the underground organisation EVA.
Unfortunately, in July 1944 he was arrested in the capital and jailed. When the liberation of
Brussels took place, Bill and many other Allied airmen were locked in a train, from which they
finally managed to escape. The wreckage was recovered by the BAHA archeaology team July 21, 2001
and the engine is on display at the Brussels Air Museum. One of the men watching the recovery
was the pilot; he returned home with the items he touched the last before baling out, parts
of his control stick and his seat belt. MACR 1542.

A flight of P-47s was returning from an aerial gunnery mission, which took them just north of
NAS Wildwood. They encountered some Navy F4U Corsairs and proceeded to dogfight with them.
This practice was routine, but strongly condemned by both the Army and Navy. The official records
make no mention of the Navy planes, but witnesses on the ground observed the entire event. They
claim that the plane began to smoke during a high-speed maneuver with the Corsairs. Officially,
the pilot noticed smoke coming from the engine while over the coastline and headed for NAS Wildwood
to make an emergency landing. The pilot said in his statement “I headed for Wildwood Navy Field
and as I passed over the coast, I could see smoke coming from the engine. I checked all engine
instruments and as far as I could remember they were within green limits. About one mile from
Wildwood, some oil was thrown on the windscreen. At this time the smoke looked too bad for a forced
landing and my flight leader instructed me to bail out. I rolled the ship upside down in a stall
and dropped out. My right leg hit the tail and was cut slightly. Several seconds later the chute opened.”
75488 (MSN 3839) 135th Base Unit, 1st AF, Millville Field, NJ; Force landed 3Jan45 with mechanical
failure at Millville, NJ. Accident during a ground gunnery mission and destroyed 7 miles SW of
Millville, NJ March 13, 1944. The pilot was flying number three position; the number four
man was late in taking off, so they proceeded to the ground strafing range as a three ship
flight and made a dry run on the target. Number four joined on before they made the next pass
and was behind number three. "As I turned on approach to the target, I decided I was too close
to the number two man to fire on the target, so I moved out to the left a little. I started on
a dry run, and immediately as I started to pull up from the target, the engine seemed to
lose all power. At about the same instant, the airplane seemed to be mushing in a very nose
high attitude and went into the trees, which must have knocked off the tail assembly, or at
least the elevators because there was no vertical control. The plane went up into the air
momentarily and started down in a steep dive. When it finally stopped, I was still conscious
and was attempting to get out, as fire was all around the plane. I had to unfasten the safety belt
and unsnap my parachute and dingy strap, before I could get out. I managed to free myself
and proceeded to get away from the plane as fast as possible. My head was bleeding freely,
so I folded my handkerchief up into a pad and put it over the cuts on my head. Then I put my
helmet back on to put pressure on the wound. I proceeded to the strafing area which seemed to
be a block or more away. I attempted to signal the airplanes firing but failed to do so.
The three airplanes in my flight continued making passes until their ammunition was gone,
then another four ship flight came over and started making passes at the targets. I had been
circling my Mae West around over my head trying to attract attention, but with no results.
I knew they did not miss me yet because the other ships came in to fire. By this time I had
walked down to the road which runs across the range and I stayed there until the four ships left,
all this time I was circling my Mae West over my head. When the four ship left the range,
I decided that I should start walking, so I proceeded West up the road. I went about
three blocks when I noticed a single aircraft circling the range and thought that maybe
he could be looking for me so I walked back. About that time, I got to the clearing the plane
had left, so I started back up the road. All the time that the aircraft were firing on the range,
there was a cloud of thick black smoke coming up where I crashed and the planes had to fly
by it on their pattern. After I had walked up the road for some distance, I saw the red
flashing light of the crash truck coming down the road.”

The P-47D looked decidedly battered after the Munster mission on this date. Following a scrap
with Fw 190s north of the Ruhr, 376th Squadron flights were reforming for return to base when the
fighter was attacked from astern by a single Fw 190. With fuel running very low, the aircraft
headed for the deck, but collided with trees and high tension wires. Remaining airborne, the
aircraft headed back to England. After landing at RAF Manston, Kent however, only ten gallons of
fuel were found in the tanks. 361st FS [QI-Y], 356th FG, 8th AF, Martlesham Heath, Station 369;

1944, a US Army demolition team blew up the plane. Rob Staughton visited the site in 2000:
"The planes are in a very poor state. They are about 75 metres from the ocean and about 100
metres apart. One is more complete than the other, but there is still very little left. One has
its motor nearby, no propellor, the wings, engine exhaust and assorted pieces of aluminium sheet
lying around. The other has wings and a pile of pieces, nothing bigger than a shoe box,
that have been placed there by someone. Neither of them have a fuselage." The tail section was
salvaged by the Australian Army and later aquired by the Australian War Memorial. It is now in
storage at the Treloar Technology Centre, Mitchell, Canberra.

77136 28th Troop Carrier Squadron, Sicily, prepared Feb 14, 1444 to takeoff with the 42-77136 glider in tow. Pilot
was given the signal to takeoff and made a successful takeoff. Soon after takeoff, the
glider pulled to one side in an extreme position, and started to pull the tow plane into a spin.
The pilot was forced to cut the glider loose. After the airborne glider was released,
it dove for the ground on an angle of about forty-five degrees to the left.
It hit the ground in an open field and was demolished to a point that it was hard
to recognize what it had beeWhen the pilot returned to base, he
found that the glider was loaded with a jeep but no crew or passengers were in it.
The following day men of the motor pool went to the scene of the crash for the
purpose of salvaging parts of the jeep. They found that the jeep had been so
crushed and torn into shreds that no parts were of value

77432 73rd Troop Carrier Squadron, 434th Troop Carrier Group, Ninth Air Force, Fulbeck (Station 488).
Eight C-47s with gliders were ready for takeoff for another training flight 21Feb44.
This glider was flying in the end of the formation, the No. 8 position. Take off was normal and
the flight proceeded as planned. The glider pilot cut loose from the tow plane a few
seconds after No.7 released. It made a normal turn to the left and slowed the glider’s
speed with use of spoilers to avoid getting to close to No.7 glider. On the final
approach the pilot stayed to the right and to the rear of No.7. It was then it came into
the propeller wash causing a loss of 150’. Believing he was still making the proper
approach the pilot began holding the glider off the ground as long as possible to make
up for the lost altitude. Looking to the ground he could see nothing; it was then that it
hit C-47A 42-100507 causing damage to the left wing tip, left wing, left de-icer boot
and aileron. Then the glider’s right wing hit another C-47A 42-24039 damaging the left
wing and wing tip, the left propeller and aileron and accessory cowling section that
swung the glider around the front of the plane causing damage to the right wing
leading edge and de-icer boot. The glider damage was: right wing smashed and loose
in its connection to the fuselage, left wing badly torn and also loose from the fuselage.
Fuselage at the wing boots was bent and torn and the pilots’ greenhouse was damaged slightly.
The right hand door didn’t open; the fuselage was slightly bent. The accident investigation
concluded that the pilot of the glider failed to release at the proper time and landed
short of his objective. Propeller wash may have contributed to loss of altitude but
was only indirectly responsible for the accident.

struck a large tree which caused it to stop. The plane’s nose had been cut off from the front edge of the

78839 On 1Aug43 the glider, built by contractor Robertson Aircraft Corporation and based at Stout Field,
Indianapolis, IN, lost its right wing and plummeted to earth immediately after release by a tow
airplane over Lambert Field, St. Louis, Missouri. Several thousand spectators had gathered for
the first public demonstration of the St. Louis-built glider, which was flown by two USAAF
crewmen and carried St. Louis mayor William D. Becker, Robertson Aircraft co-founder
Maj. William B. Robertson, and six other VIP passengers; all ten occupants perished in the crash.
The accident was attributed to the failure of a defective wing strut fitting that had been
provided by a subcontractor that had previously manufactured caskets; the post-crash
investigation indicted Robertson Aircraft for lax quality control; several inspectors
were relieved of duty.

Model 24
78845 first flight Jul 19, 1943. Crashed when pilot could not recover from a stall Nov 15, 1943. Pilot bailed out.
The pilot was testing the aircraft's stall performance at altitude. Suddenly, the XP-55
inverted into an uncontrolled descent. The pilot was unable to right the airplane,
and it fell out of control for 16,000 ft before he was able to parachute to safety. The aircraft was destroyed
78846 first flight Jan 9, 1944. Technical Data Laboratory, Wright Field, Dayton OH. US Aircraft Section,
Air Materiel Command, Freeman Field, Seymour, Indiana Jul45. Set aside for proposed USAAF aviation museum.
Dismantled and shipped to the aircraft storage area, 803rd Special Depot at Orchard Place Airport,
Park Ridge, Illinois May 1946. Transferred 1956 to storage at the Paul Garber facility in Suitland, MD. Underwent
restoration at Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum. Went on display at the Kalamazoo Airzoo by 2006.
78847 first flight Apr 25, 1944. The plane crashed during the closing day of the
Seventh War Bond Air Show at the Army Air Forces Fair at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio 27May45.
After a low pass in formation with a Lockheed P-38 Lightning and a North American P-51 Mustang
on each wing, its pilot attempted a slow roll but lost altitude and crashed, sending flaming debris
into occupied civilian ground vehicles on a highway near the airfield. The pilot,
a veteran of 80 combat missions over Germany, was killed and five civilians were critically injured.
One of the injured was the driver of an automobile who had just asked a State Highway Patrolman
how to get into the field and was in the act of turning his automobile around when it was struck.
His wife and two young children in the automobile were also injured.

Towed by a C-47, the glider was transporting men from the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment,
101st Airborne Division to a landing zone at Eindhoven, The Netherlands during Operation ‘Market’.
Bad weather seriously disrupted the missions flown that day. The second serial,
consisting of 40 CG4A gliders and their tug aircraft, had to abandon the mission and
return to base. The aircraft had been flying through a solid bank of cloud and for most
of the journey the glider pilots were unable to see their tow planes. The call to return
was received by the formation midway across the English Channel. As the aircraft and glider
combinations returned to Membury so the gliders would, one by one, break from their
tow planes and manoeuvre into position, before landing on the grass infield of the aerodrome.
It was during this part of the aborted mission that two gliders from the 82nd Troop Carrier
Squadron collided. Both aircraft were on their downwind leg when they tragically came together,
falling into a field close to Membury's base hospital.

Damaged when nosed over taxying at Luke Field 18Jun45. Crashed in the Sierra Estrella
Mountains, eleven miles southeast of Maracopia, AZ 20Jun45. The aircraft departed
Luke Field to fly a two hour navigational flight. When the aircraft was approximately
thirty miles south of Phoenix, it changed course to head west directly over the towering
Sierra Estrella Mountain Range. As the pilot entered a canyon, he was level with a s
addle he intended to fly over. The aircraft climbed with the intention of having a 1,000 foot
clearance over the saddle but failed to gain altitude. As the pilot approached the crest, he
realized he would not make it over the top and tried banking left to turn around, but his
left wing struck a boulder and caused the aircraft to cart-wheel and crash.
The fuselage was torn loose from the center section, and with the pilot still inside,
rolled down fifty feet into a steep ravine and came to rest upside down. Pilot survived. Supposedly
to reclamation/scrap at Luke AAF, AZ Jul 5, 1945, but wreck is still on-site.
