2/25/44. Curtis C-46A #41-12363 of U.S.A.A.F. hit Pallet Mountain during a winter storm, killing all four crewmen. Site is marked and highly visible on the north slope of the mountain above Devil's Punch Bowl County Park. On 10/3/66 a U.S.A.F. C-119 crashed 200 yards above the C-46. |
Thanks to the expert piloting of George Peterson I was able to take two photos of Curtiss C-46A #41-12363 that crashed in a winter storm on 2/25/44 killing the crew of four. After sixty-five years of weathering one side of the tail assembly is now natural aluminum, but the shaded side still retains its olive drab paint applied so long ago.
