Colorado WWII Fatal Crash Site #58
PETERSON AAF
October 11, 1943
A B-24D (#42-72880) Liberator heavy bomber being flown by an Air Transport Command (ATC) crew crashed and burned shortly after takeoff. The pilot had many hours of flying time but it had been a full year since he had flown a B-24 type aircraft. The same lack of B-24 experience could be said about the co-pilot and engineer. The cause of the accident was 60% pilot error and 40% ferry command supervisory personnel error in "not sending a sufficiently trained crew for ferry duty of B-24 type aircraft."
