RAF bomber crash in Detroit
AlexisDetroit
For several years now, I've tried to find info on this crash. I was almost 5 years old on Oct 24, 1958 when the aircraft nearly crashed into our house. I lived at 477 Ashland Ave, when the aircraft flew just over us and crashed down the street. I still hear the roar of the engines and the house shaking as if in an earthquake. I would appreciate if you could email the photos you spoke of, if you still have them. I can't find any newspaper articles other than calling the Detroit News archives desk many years ago with no luck. I've recently done a Google Earth search to see the area, and saw my old Guyton Elementary school.
I have been haunted by this memory for years, and for many years could not stay indoors when a low flying aircraft passed overhead. Funny thing is, I went into the aviation field in 1974.
Thanks in advance for any info
