1944: THE CRASH OF THE P47. THANKS GEORGE!

GEORGE GOLDY RECALLS THE CRASH. HERE'S HIS EMAIL DETAILING THE INCIDENT:
Tom
I remember the crash in 1944. I lived in Lakeside and went over the farms and visited the site the next day.The crash occurred on the Mays Farm which was located between Klockner Road and Rt 33 and. was in the area behind Cedar Gardens. The site was in a wood area and was a large hole filled with gas, oil and water. The engine was still embedded in the bottom. The trees at the site showed that the plane came in at about a 60 degree angle. I was outside the night it happened and remember the rest of the flight circling very low for about 10 minutes before returning to Millville. There is a housing development on the site now. I hope that this helps you. As you have indicated I too was very interested in airplanes at that time.
George Goldy

MANY THANKS, GEORGE.
