Hello Karen, I was looking for information about my uncle and ran into a registry of all accidents involving airplanes. I'm not sure I could find it again, but let me know if you'd like me to try. I found a record of a ground loop on landing when he was training.

By the way, if anyone has a copy of Bruce field class 42-K, I Would like to see it. My other uncle should be in that book. He was killed by sabotage of the plane he was ferrying out of Malta. I have never seen his picture.

Bruce Field was used for primary training, right?

I've been working on my husband's family tree. This book helped to answer some questions about his great uncle, Melvin L. Holman. My husband's grandmother talked about her younger brother being a cadet and being killed while testing a plane. We would like more information about that incident. If any one knows where we can get more information, please contact us.
