Pueblo

The crew departed Pueblo Airfield on a navigational training exercise. En route, he encountered technical issues with the hydraulic system and decided to return to base for an emergency landing. The airplane landed about ⅓ of the runway length and due to a lack of braking power, was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran and crashed into a ravine located 176 metres past the runway end. The pilot and the flight engineer were killed and six other crew members were injured.
Crew:
1st Lt Harold L. Etler, pilot,

The airplane departed Topeka on a routine navigation exercise to Pueblo, Colorado. While cruising at an altitude of 5,000 feet in clouds, the crew encountered severe icing conditions when the airplane suffered a catastrophic structural failure on the tail section. The vertical stabilizer, the fin and the rudder detached, causing the airplane to enter a dive and to crash in an open field located 5,6 km northwest of White City, bursting into flames. A crew parachuted to safety and was uninjured while 11 other occupants were killed.

Two Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bombers collided when one bomber overtook and pulled up in front of the flight leader. The impact with the leader’s nose severed the tail section and the aircraft went out of control preventing the seven man crew from bailing out. The flight leader had sounded the bailout bell and five men parachuted to safety. Parts of the severed tail remained embedded in the nose, pinning the bombardier and navigator in the nose of the aircraft and blocking the pilot’s forward vision. The engineer went to the front of the aircraft, noted the situation and notified the pilot of the two men trapped there. The pilot, Lt. Slough, despite the damage to the aircraft, with the aid of the engineer in the copilot’s seat, managed to fly the plane back and land at the base at Pueblo. These two men, Lt Slough and S/Sgt Cailleir, were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for their heroic actions.
