Warbird Information Exchange

Well, I got bored again and changed the format and look to match the other website I own, www.warbird-central.com


Go to www.bt-13.org


Hope you like the new look and feel!

Aloha Paul,
In the list of BT-13A serials is:

"42-42432 -Pilot Cornilai C Fort Crashed and lost 10 miles south of Merkel, Texas 3/21/1943(Jim Blanton, Denton, Tx)" Crash location is correct...here are some details:

The plane was accepted for delivery from Abilene, Texas for delivery to Enid, Oklahoma with one scheduled stop at Love Field, Dallas, Texas. The WAFS pilot was Cornelia Clark Fort, killed in the crash.

Patsy Cline was returning to "Cornelia Fort Air Park", Nashville, TN, when she was killed in a plane crash.

Cornelia Fort was airborne over John Rogers Field, Oahu, HI, training her student 'touch and go' procedures, when Akagi Zeros attacked that location on 7 Dec 1941.

Cheers,
David Aiken
