See B-24 Liberators Crash Sites, Death Valley, Caifornia
On August 1, 1944, six B-24 Liberators took off from Muroc Army Air Field for training in gunnery and formation flying. One B-24J collided with, and sheared off the tail of, a B-24D which immediately plummeted. Gunnery student Private Newton J. Steven was thrown from the B-24J and was able to parachute successfully. All the other eight aviators in the B-24J perished along with all eight airmen on the B-24D (Mireles 2006). Scattered debris from the crash is still visible in the park around Devil’s Golf Course.
NOTE: Wreck is scattered, partly burned, and unmarked. Location os sites is approx.
