The aircraft had taken off from Memphis TN on a return leg of a night navigation flight to MacDill field. Low ceilings were reported at MacDill and tower personnel advised the pilot to go to Hendricks field in Sebring, Fla. The crew acknowledged these instructions and flew over the Avon Park field assuming it was Hendricks field which was in reality, 9 miles east of there. They called Hendricks tower and requested landing instructions and were advised to use runway 22. This caused confusion to the crew. The pilot called again and were advised to use runway 18. The pilot flew the pattern for runway 22 and turned for approach. Landing gear was lowered , along with the flaps. The pilot began his decent soon entering thick fog. Visability became very poor and the aircraft flew into the ground 440 yards NE of the runway. The landing gear collapsed from the impact and shortly afterwards impacted palmetto bushes and thick stumps seriously damaging the plane. The crumpled plane slid along the ground and came to rest in a drainage ditch. Pilot Ralph E Morrison and PFC Ralph Edward Thomas were killed . There were many heros from WW II, not all of them made it to combat. There were more airmen killed in training accidents than were killed in combat. Let us never forget the sacrifice of these soldiers.
