From Fletcher Hank's, "WHEN AND HOW THE CNAC CRASHES HAPPENED ON THE HUMP AND ITS ENVIRONS DURING WWII" (hand-dated 5/4/02) Al Wright and Charles Cook, 12/18/43, C-47 #83. All 3 crew killed. While making let-down, below minimums, at Suifu, didn't make contact the first time around and pulled up into cliff, 150 feet from the top. Load was 100-octane gas. Exploded and burned at crash. Bodies burned beyond recognition. Source: Kirkpatrick log. George Robertson said it was not pilot error; it was because the radio station was moved two days before without notifying Dinjan operations about the new location.  Thanks! |
