| 42-23957 | xx-xx-1943 | DC-3 C-47A-35-DL | USAAF - United States Army Air Force | 02.08.43 En route to San Rafael-Hamilton Field, CA the C-47 ran into a severe thunderstorm. Turbulence caused the pilot to lose control of the airplane. He attempted to pull up but this caused too much stress on the airplane. The left wingtip buckled. The entire wing then folded back along the fuselage. It struck the horizontal stabilizer and tore it off as it separated from the fuselage. The C-47 entered a spin and crashed in flames, overloaded by 2126 pounds, 0,5 km W of Rock Falls, IA 5(5). | ||
