Hatfield Heath, Bishop's Stortford, Essex CM22, UK | 24 September 2044 | Lt Noland was flying one of the three planes that crashed returning from a ferry mission to France on 09/24/44. He was flying 42-95853, "Miss Laid," and crashed in Hatfield Heath. According to Bob Mynn in an article, "When the Weather Won," his crew were Crider and Terrian. Note that he did not have a co-pilot for this ferry mission. All were killed and are buried in the American Military Cemetery at Madingley. Noland’s name is spelled Nolan in several instances, creating some confusion. Kennair later flew with Bass, and his name was often misspelled as Kinnair. |
