JMKendall's original entry stated that "as many as 17 aircraft many have been buried..." . Interesting that the photo I posted shows 17 aircraft. What a coincidence !!!! Also, the report link that he posted was somewhat lengthy (183 pages) BUT if you advance to page 41 there is a rather dramatic COLOR photo of a C-82 on fire!!!

Resurrecting this thread, because, in my digging through the Life magazine archives for reference material, I found that, weirdly enough, Life actually covered this (or photographed it, at least):

Air Crash Test In Ohio (the main set)

http://images.google.com/hosted/life/cd ... b2508.html
http://images.google.com/hosted/life/d2 ... 0889d.html

I recognize the C-82, can anyone tell what type that is parked next/behind it?

The captioned set:

and a few in color:

I'd be curious to know if the magazine actually ran this story, as much of what's in the archives is by google's admission unpublished.

The aircraft in most of the pics is a C 46

Do you mean the C-46 or the A-26 parked next to the C-82?
