Canadian Report on Skymaster 42-72469, Operation "Mike"

The full Canadian accident report

by James Tippins, Rockledge, Florida

Some people knew this report existed but didn't tell the rest of us. I discovered its existence by looking through numerous things. One day, I put my military thinking cap on and I realized the Canadians must have an accident report as well. I contacted the Reference Services of the Library and Archives of Canada who found the document and I obtained a copy. Remember, this report was written in 1950. Terms, language, etc., are different than a report written today. I like this type better!
