A crash site photo taken the day of the crash. The aerial one shows where the plane hit the forest. I think the horizontal line in the trees above the impact is the road my dad landed in. I believe it was the base commander that took off in his car and got to my dad first, cut him down and put him in his back seat and drove to the hospital.

I was told long ago that someone in the 509th made the legs for the seat.
