can somebody give a more pin point location?? i'm roughly an hour from hinckley (BUZZARD COUNTRY) ohio


Tom,

I must not be too far from you (I'm in Akron) but I see nothing about Hinckley in the article. I see town of Ohio in New York state.

Confused as always,

Jim

jim, i got a little over excited when i saw the thread. thought the wreck was here in buckeye country, but i guess it's just over the border, which is still cool & fascinating to me. as the saying goes... you see what you want to see !!i'm sure we've met, you are affiliated with maps musuem. i was a member for a year. private message me with your last name & we'll go from their. regards, tom

This is not a big deal.....can I please make a request when people post threads with titles such as this...that you state something like" 1940's Corsair Crash"......Because people like me are clicking on this thread "Corsair Crash" dreading to see what current restoration has gone in. Not upset here, but just a small request.

I offer my most humble apology. I did not mean to cause any alarm. Request noted.

Excellent post! :)

Bureau Number for the plae appears to be 92527 which would be an FG-1D. I don't have a complete account of stateside crash reports, but I'll take a look at its history card and see if there are any notes.


did you ever find any info on this bird? Thanks

I have the microfilm here on my desk but haven't had the opportunity to make it to the library yet. I'll try to get to it over the weekend.
