World War II Bomber Crash
Posted by Jacob Andersen in News Tuesday, 30 April 2013 21:05
On January 20, 1944, a B-24 bomber from Pocatello Army Air Base crashed near Arbon Valley during a training mission. Â Seven of the ten men on board were killed. Â The accident happened approximately 10 miles south west of the air base (now Pocatello Airport). Â I’m trying to locate the site of the crash, and would be interested in hearing from anyone with information about it. Â I research old military crashes and create online memorials to the men who were killed. Â More pilots and flight crews were killed during training in the U.S. than in actual combat during World War II.
