NASA Do their very best to crash aircraft, and keep very extensive data, thier library at Kenedy Space Center FL, has teamd up with a large media group to aid distrobution. I remeber reading a paper specifically on tail icing and its very worrying consiquences.

Try the NTSB website, they probably have tomes on aircraft icing and the consequences. All very depressing reading, too, I suspect.
"icing (n): a fondant-like mixture of sugar, artificial colouring and cornflour which has the additional property of being able to make aircraft crash."

Try the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center in CLE, <A HREF="http://www.grc.nasa.gov/" TARGET="_blank">http://www.grc.nasa.gov/</A> After Roselawn and Detroit, they did iceing trials using a Twotter. The resulting video is excellent. It covers the various types of ice, severity, pitch and roll upset and recovery and other goodies. If the video is not available from NASA itself, you should be able to borrow it from the UK equivalent of our Regional Aviation Safety Officer.
