This looks to be a second T-6 Prang.

Hard to tell who started this mess. Looks like the B-25 is to blame.

The T-33 crash is 1953; s/n 51-4437 was lost on 25 May 1953 at Tye AFB, TX. French AF cadet Jacques M Chataigner became lost on a flight from Webb AFB and overshot the runway during an emergency landing at Tye. He was able to step out before the aircraft caught fire.

Well, I sure wouldn't have wanted to be in the nose compartment of the A-20s (or the B-26) when they made those landings.

It's innocent, I tells ya!
Took a little sleuthing, hindered by the fact that the serials and date on the photo don't match records, but the L-3C (not "L-36") was the key:

(43-)1698 wrecked at Columbia, SC due to high winds Dec 5, 1942

The UC-78's number is correct, and the Mitchell is probably TB-25C 41-12942.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it looks like the L-3 and the Bobcat got blasted backwards into the rear of the B-25 judging by the B-25's damaged left rudder... and the damage to the Bobcat's tail and probably the B-25's left aileron. Of interest is also the Bendix turret on the B-25.

Hello, I'm curious what the small tube is on the rear underside of the Havoc. My guess is another one of those extendable/retractable antennas. Pea-shooter?

The accident report says the A-20 was on a target towing mission, is it something to do with the drogue or line?
