One of the photos from the official accident report, taken only a few days after the crash
in May 1949. This photo shows the wreck of USAF C-82A Packet 48-572 lying next to the airstrip, its nose pointing
towards the upper right corner of the photo. The wrecked left wing can be seen to the right of the wreck, this
would later be dragged onto the bay ice to allow it to sink during summer. Work is already underway to cut
the right wing off the fuselage. |
