I was going through a stack of Very Old newspapers my husbands cousin gave us when we were in Nebraska last year and came across this on the front page of the paper. THE EAGLE=REPORTER Maywood, Nebraska, Thursday, April 12, 1945 BOMBER CRASHES IN DUST STORM Crash of a B-17 heavy Bomber at the Markee farm north of the Burr Lloyd's, 11 miles west of Maywood during the dust storm in the early hours of Tuesday morning resulted in five immediate deaths. Four other men were injured. Cause of the wreck has not been officially announced, but it is reported that an altimeter at fault caused the pilot to believe he was flying at a much higher altitude than was the fact. The plane came to rest some half a mile from the point where it first struck the ground. Only one motor remained intact in the plane; two were torn away at the time of the landing and were more than a quarter of a mile from the plane, a third at a lesser distance. The wreck was taken in charge by air corps men from the McCook base, home base of the plane and the injured men taken to the hospital there. Loads of the wreckage were passing thru Maywood today.
