From 1939 to 1945 thousands of young airmen met terrible ends not at the hands the enemy’s machine guns or because of the murderous flak of anti-aircraft fire, but in catastrophic accidents and training crashes. Incredibly, these incidents accounted for the lives of over 8,000 men. All over the world training flights and cargo transport journeys all sometimes ended in disaster.Perhaps it’s not so surprising that, amid the weight of the human costs of the air war against Germany, these hidden’ losses have been forgotten; but all the men in the aircraft which never returned signed up for the same war, and they were all someone’s father, brother or son. The same letters went home to every family.
Luckily, there are some who believe those brave men should not be a footnote in military history. They are the World War 2 air crash detectives and now, for the first time, they have agreed to let us join them.
Episode Summary:
Episode Three - Baker’s Creek: Australia’ S Worst Crash
Bakers Creek, Australia, 14th June, 1943. For the men about to board “Miss Every Morning Fixin”, the pressures of the War had been eased by a period of rest and relaxation in Queensland, but they were about to return to war operations in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. They were never to return. The “Miss Every Morning Fixin”, a name derived from the amount of effort needed to keep it airworthy, was a beaten up old B-17 bomber that had been converted for transport use and had suffered a great deal of damage - including receiving over a thousand bullet holes - in a raid over the Philippines in 1941. Shortly after take-off the aircraft plunged into the ground killing everyone aboard - apart from one survivor, who would spend the rest of his life coping with the injuries he received that day. The death toll finally stood at 40 passengers and crew. This accident is still Australia’s worse ever plane crash and yet it was hushed up by the Australian and US governments until after the war had ended, with the relatives being told that those on board had perished in a crash over the South Pacific. Why was the truth suppressed, and why did the plane crash?
