| visits since 1 June 2003 |
On 8 July 1943, an unidentified aircraft from the 8th Bomb Squadron of the 3rd Bomb Group, based in Charters Towers, was lost in bad weather somewhere between Australia and New Guinea. It apparently had a payload of 3,000 lbs and 19 men on board.
Two members of the crew were as follows:-
1st Lt. Richard G. Ruby
Captain Ralph C. Payne
Can anyone help me with more information on this crash?
Can anyone confirm crew's names, location of crash, and aircraft type?
