Hello,
I'm looking for details of a plane crash that occurred in November of 1944 at Cape St. George, Newfoundland.
The plane involved was a C-54 and it hit a cliff at the the Cape. 12 people killed, 6 survivors.
There is almost no information about this crash on the internet, and I need a manifest.
Can anyone help or suggest some place to look? |

| I was forced out of the FAA by corrupt management. Since then I have become a whistleblower and have exposed FAA corruption that has led to the loss of innocent lives. The FAA (flight standards) is a sick agency and need to be disbanded and started over. |

AM EMAILING YOU A COPY OF TWO NEWS ACCOUNT OF ACCIDENTS NOT ON THIS SITE -
Tuesday October 13 2009
A full investigation will get underway today into the crash of an Irish Air Corps plane in which two crew members lost their lives.
A flight instructor and cadet were on board the two-seater aircraft when it came down near the village of Cong on the Galway-Mayo border yesterday evening.
A local woman raised the alarm after seeing the plane flying low before hearing a loud bang.
The aircraft was taking part in a flight training exercise with two other planes, both of which landed safely at Galway Airport.
struck a mountainside about 200ft below standard flying levels.
Experienced Captain Derek Furniss and Cadet David Jevens died when their two-seater light aircraft went down in a remote valley in Connemara last month as weather closed in.A preliminary report into the tragedy on the edge of Lough Mask found weather conditions, including cloud cover and visibility, rapidly changed around the time of the crash.Air accident investigators said the wreckage was strewn across a ridge in Crumlin Valley, known as Maum Dearg, at about 800ft. Normal flying height is above 1,000ft but it is understood the Irish Air Corps may be given permission to fly below that altitude in some areas.
The Air Accident Investigation Unit found no technical problems with the small Pilatus PC-9M craft which had been on a visual navigation training flight.
The plane crashed one mile north from its intended route and the debris was strewn across a 300ft area on the downslope of the remote peak.
Investigators said the slight departure from the planned course was well within the normal margin for error.
The aircraft had been conducting cross-country navigational training from Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel to Galway Airport via Co Cavan and Maum on October 13. Two other aircraft were also taking part in the exercise, flying at 15 minute intervals behind.
The crew radioed to Shannon Air Traffic Control from Carrigallen, Co Cavan, about 20 minutes before the crash and travelling at 1,500ft, that it was setting course for Maum, the final planned point before stopping to refuel in Galway. It was last recorded on radar by Shannon over lower Lough Mask at an altitude of 1,300ft, eight miles from the crash site and minutes before it went down.

A flotilla of rescue vessels continued its search on Saturday for nine people feared dead at sea following an air collision between a Coast Guard aircraft and a Marine Corps helicopter.
Six Coast Guard cutters, three Navy ships and multiple helicopters searched the ocean off Southern California.
Rescuers had found several pieces of debris from both aircraft but there was no sign of the victims.
No bodies have been found in the debris field, and the mission is still considered search and rescue, not search and recovery, Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Jetta Disco said.
Thursday's crash involved a Coast Guard C-130 with a seven-member crew and a Marine Corps AH-1W Super Cobra with two aboard as it flew in formation near the Navy's San Clemente Island, a site with training ranges for amphibious, air, surface and undersea warfare.
The collision occurred as the Coast Guard airplane was itself carrying out a search for a missing boatman.
Officials were collecting evidence and reviewing recordings of transmissions by the aircraft to try to determine how the collision occurred.
The accident happened at 7.10pm in airspace uncontrolled by the FAA and inside a so-called military warning area, which is at times open to civilian aircraft and at times closed for military use, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said. He did not know the status of the airspace at the time.
Capt Tom Farris, commander of the Coast Guard's San Diego sector, said it is not unusual to have a high volume of military traffic working in training areas and pilots in the area are responsible for seeing other aircraft around them under a so-called "see-and-avoid principle".
Minutes before the collision, the FAA told the C-130 pilot to begin communicating with military controllers at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego Bay, but it was not known if the pilot did so, Gregor said. The search covered 644 square miles of sea but rescuers were concentrating on a debris field 50 miles off the San Diego coast. |
