Training flight accident info needed - 10/25/2007 08:00:45 AM
If any one knows how to get access to WWII accident reports I would very much like to know. I am researching my unkle Tom N Jessup.  He was assigned to the 505FS early in 1945 and died in a mock dog fight with another FG from Duxford on June 30, 1945.

Follow this link, scroll down to the bottom of the page.  The accident you are looking for is the sixth line from the bottom.
