It was a bit of war in its most gruesome aspect brought to their front door. ' It ‘wal a thing they'd often read about but never expected to see. It was the worst, the most exciting thing that’s happened in Hendricks County for many a day. * : ¥ - » =» n . ; IN THE CENTER. of Marion Linton's farm, in a pasture, there is a wide, charred and blackened area. It is not round, but zig-zags like a star with shooting points. It is the spot where
From this charred center point, in any direction, burned patches can be found as far as half a mile away. Scattered throughout the pastures and cornfields were bits of wreckage of varied size. A good half-mile away from the center point was the twisted wreckage of the tall tail of the ship. Sticking up in the ground as if driven there for a purpose was a part of the landing gear. This was at least three city blocks from the scene. In between were smaller parts strewn like confetti over a great circle. As one farmer expressed it: “If you don’t count the motors buried in the ground, I could carry any piece of this wreckage out of here myself, - nn » » » » AWAY TO the south of the charred center point was a large hole in the gorund. It was about 18 inches deep and four to five feet long. It was stained with a dark, dull red. Nearby was a nylon parachute that had not opened. Quite a distance from this spot, against a huge tree, another blood-stained area marks the place where they found another body. This parachute did open, they said, but not soon .enough. . Hundreds of persons milled about the road and many succeeded in getting into adjoining fields. Many were farmers who had actually seen the big plane fall and others were the curious from nearby Brownsburg—even Indianapolis. ‘With all the excitement, however, there was a sort of hushed quietness and people talked in whispers. They didn't know how many were dead, how many airmen were in the smoldering, twisted wreckage. They asked questions, they hurried to better vantage points, but most of all they just watched. ¥ > ~ » . » “IT WAS like an earthquake, a war and the end of the world fora minute," Charles Epperson-of Hendricks County said. “A man just couldn't realize what was happening. It was hard to believe vour eyes.” ~ Military authorities at the 10th Air Force Base would not vérify reports that ammunition was on board but veterans of World War II insisted that some of the blasts were from ex-

A state police official pointed out an exploded 50-caliber machinegun' shell on the ground with the other debris. “It was the explosions that scared me,” a woman said. “The guns went off all around. The streaks of fire were all colors. The thing was deafening.” = Another man, Stanley Gantz, a‘ former Navy B-24 pilot, didn't see the plane crash but he did see the parachutes as the crewmen jumped for life. : "Those white spots kept blooming out at widely different spots,” he said. "I knew they were hitting the silk. t Brownsburg) but I hurried home to see what was happening. When I got here flames were shooting up and the ammunition going off. It wasso hot you couldn't get: anywhere near it.” Military police from Ft. Benjamin Harrison and Indiana state police blocked county roads and spread out in a wide circle around the scene of the crash. They feared more explosions. | The military police didn't want the wreckage disturbed.’ - . ” = » . BIG AIR FORCE trucks and tractors arrived at the scene ‘within three hours after the crash, Skilled men started the task of clearing up the wreckage.
