AN ARMY AIR FORCE B-25D flying a nighttime navigation training mission was supposed to be a routine exercise, however, it ended in tragedy. On February 2, 1943, the plane crashed at 3,100 feet on the side of Sharp Top Mountain in southwest Virginia.
The plaque names the pilot and crew.
@CallMeDave I tried looking at the plaque but only saw a faint B-25.

Posted by SurchinI’m currently contracting in the Marshall Islands. These pics are from Roi Namur, site of a World War Two battle. Nice hike around the perimeter of the island, about 5 miles.
