Crashes and Accidents: 1944

I am in the process of documenting every airplane crash and accident that occurred
at ​Mitchel Field/Mitchel AFB.
​Researching and cross-referencing crash records and documents is a time consuming and tedious process.
I hope to include details and photos.
Please be patient and check back often for updates.

​Thank you. Paul Martin, webmaster.
