The plane we first started to use, the 1167 a B-26, went out on a routine flight today & 10 miles from the field crashed into a swamp & burned. They have found 2 of the bodies & are still searching for the others. They were from the outfit that we are detached to, the 476 Bomb Sqdn. I knew the engineer & the day before I was talking to the mechanics as they finished working on the motors.
