canadian grumman avenger aircraft in lake erie??????????

[norman malayney]

Gentlemen,

I have seven filing cabinets, and in one of them is a newsclip published in 1946 describing a USN Avenger that belly landed in Lake Erie near a freighter, who rescued the crew. I posted this information previously somewhere on this web site. But now will make every effort to locate the newsclipping for the exact date of the accident. Then it should be easy to obtain the accident report from the USN at the Washington Naval Yard. They have the accident reports for 1946 at this facility.

C'mon fella's! All this work and expense to raise and restore a Turkey? Why not give Mark Clark a call and he'll set you up with a flier for half the price and no nightmares with the feds.


That what I would have thought also! It would be alot less problems

norman, that would be a huge help. if you could email a pic attachment of the article for my files that would be an valuable starting point for me. let me clarify something....... when i said yesterday i had no care in raising them, i meant for my self personally, but i sure as hell would love to participate in a salvage operation with a canadian or u.s. museum!!! can't wait to see the article. thanks & regards, tom
