Seventy-five years ago today, 40 US military personnel were killed in what remains Australia's worst air disaster — but few people are aware it ever happened.

The years just seem to roll on, but articles like this keep the memories alive.

I have just finished "Whispering Death" the tale of the RAAF's role in the Pacific War.

It is a tragedy that so many died in accidents like this on a daily basis.

Flying was a very dangerous pastime.
