Not really wix but.............

Can someone give me the details of a landing accident in the Pacific Theatre Of Operations.

As I recall a landing U.S. Navy aircraft crashed and in the process destroyed a large amount of parked aircraft.

I would be interested to learn more about this incident.

Didn't a P-38 or something crash into a carrier deck while doing a low pass? Is this what you are referring to? I think this was discussed here recently...

A time frame would help.
WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, recent?

This accident was discussed recently here, David: http://www.warbirdinformationexchange.o ... highlight=

It was a PB4Y-1 taking off from Eniwetok that caused the accident.

Thanks Second Air Force, that is what I was looking for.

Sorry Jerry, I thought by writing "Pacific Theatre Of Operations" it would be obvious it was WW2, apparently not.

Last time I checked, U.S. Armed Forces have been continuously operating in the entire Pacific for well over 100 years.
