Title: Bomber County aircraft accidents and crashes to be collated
Post by: mhm on October 24, 2013, 09:02:25 PM
Researchers aim to create a definitive record of all known World War II aircraft accidents that happened in the area known as Bomber County.

Lincolnshire became known as Bomber County because it had more than 100 airfields and airstrips in the war.

Bomber County Aviation Resource knows of about 2,000 crashes and accidents there, but expects to collate information on as many as 4,000.
