  2. (50)야드 떨어져 있었습니다. 조명탄이 터지고 있었고 그는 현장을 떠나는 것이 최선이라고 생각했습니다. 그는 근처에서 시냇물 소리를 듣고 따라가다가 한 집에 도착하여 그 집 사람들을 깨웠습니다. 곧 TAFF가 같은 집에 도착했고, 다치지 않았기 때문에 차를 타고 시내로 갔습니다. 그 후 그는 MATHEWS를 병원으로 이송하기 위해 구급차를 안내했습니다. 한편, 민간인들이 추락 현장에 도착하여 시신 한 구를 발견했습니다. 태평양 표준시 09시 30분, B 비행대대에서 항법사의 키트에 일급 비밀 자료가 있으니 매코드 필드 지휘관에게 해밀턴 필드 지휘관에게 모든 가용 정보를 신속히 전달하도록 요청하라는 메시지가 왔습니다. 한편, FORSBERG 대위와 4명의 사병은 태평양 표준시 08시 30분에 KELSO를 출발하여 추락 현장으로 향했습니다. 그들은 비행기의 정확한 위치(북위 46°09', 서경 122°43')를 알고 있는 워싱턴 주 경찰에 의해 이송되었습니다. 지상팀은 현장에 도착하여 잔해 속에 시신 2구가 있는 것을 확인했습니다. 정황상 부조종사는 충돌 직전 비행기를 떠날 때 몸에 불이 붙었던 것으로 보입니다. 조종사의 유해는 잔해 속에서 발견되었습니다. FORSBERG 대위의 예비 조사 결과, 비행기의 왼쪽 날개가 널리 흩어진 비행기 파편들로부터 약 125야드 떨어진 곳에서 발견되었습니다. 왼쪽 날개는 온전했으며, 충돌 전 왼쪽 엔진 바로 바깥쪽에서 찢겨 나간 것으로 보입니다. 날개 뿌리의 앞부분은 녹았지만 뒤쪽 3분의 2는 날개의 안쪽 부분에서 찢겨 나갔음을 보여주었습니다. 날개 앞전은 손상되지 않았습니다. 항법등과 착륙등은 깨지지 않았습니다. 보조익은 손상되지 않았지만 플랩 부분은 찌그러져 있어 날개가 꼬리 부분에 부딪혔을 것으로 추정됩니다. 이러한 정황으로 보아 날개는 MATHEWS가 비행기를 버린 직후에 비행기에서 찢겨 나간 것으로 보입니다. 그 결과 발생한 스핀으로 인해 부조종사가 해치에 있었을 가능성은 있지만 나머지 승무원들은 탈출하지 못했습니다. FORSBERG 대위가 도착했을 때 그 지역에는 소수의 민간인이 있었고, 그는 그들이 잔해를 훼손하지 않도록 예방 조치를 취했습니다. 태평양 표준시 11시 57분, LITTRELL 대위는 RICE 의무 대위를 태우고 KELSO로 비행했습니다. 매코드 필드에서 파견된 구급차가 KELSO에서 그들을 만났고, 주 경찰의 안내를 받아 추락 현장으로 갔습니다. 시신은 수습되어 구급차에 실려 매코드 필드로 이송되었습니다. LITTRELL 대위는 매코드 필드로 돌아와 지상팀에게 투하할 캠핑 장비를 준비했습니다. LITTRELL 대위는 신호 불빛을 보고 해질녘에 성공적으로 투하했습니다. 지상팀은 잔해 현장에 캠프를 설치하여 경비를 서고 다음 날 추가 조사를 했습니다. 그들은 태평양 표준시 18시경에 도착한 CIC 요원에게 회수된 모든 문서에 대한 책임을 인계했습니다.

    (50) yards away. Flares were going off and he thought best to leave the scene. He heard a stream nearby and followed it until he came to a house and aroused the occupants. Soon TAFF arrived at the same house and, being un- injured, was driven into town. Then he led an ambulance to effect transporta- tion of MATHEWS to a hospital. Meanwhile, civilians reached the scene of the crash where they found one body. At 0930 PST, a message from Sq B informed that top secret material was in the navigators kit and to request Commanding Officer MCCHORD FIELD to expedite all available information to Commanding Officer HAMILTON FIELD. Meanwhile, CAPT FORSBERG and four (4) enlisted men departed KELSO at 0830 PST for scene of the crash. They were transported by the WASHINGTON STATE POLICE who knew the exact location of the plane (46°09'N - 122°43'W). The ground party determined upon arrival at the scene, that two (2) bodies were in the wreckage. Indications led to the belief that the co-pilot was afire when he left the plane an instant before impact. The pilot's remains were found in the wreckage. Pre- liminary investigation by CAPT FORSBERG disclosed the planes left wing about one hundred twenty-five (125) yards from the widely scattered por- tions of the plane. The left wing was intact and had apparently torn off just outboard of the left engine before impact. The forward portion of the wing stub was melted but the rear two thirds indicated that it had ripped loose from the inboard section of the wing. The wing leading edge was undamaged. The navigation and landing lights were unbroken. The aileron was undamaged but the flap section was crushed, leading to the belief that the wing struck the tail section. From these indications it is believed the wing ripped from the airplane just after MATHEWS abandoned the plane. The resulting spin thus prevented the remaining crew members from bailing out although the co-pilot may have been in the hatch. A few civilians were in the area when CAPT FORSBERG arrived and he took precautions to prevent them from disturbing the wreckage. At 1157 PST CAPT LITTRELL flew CAPT RICE, M. C., to KELSO. An ambulance dispatched from MCCHORD FIELD, met them at KELSO, and was led to the scene of the crash by the STATE POLICE. The bodies were recovered and trans- ported in the ambulance to MCCHORD FIELD. CAPT LITTRELL returned to MCCHORD FIELD where camping equipment was prepared to be dropped to the ground party. CAPT LITTRELL made a successful drop at dusk by sighting on a signal fire. The ground party set up camp at the wreckage scene to act as guard and to investigate further the following day. They were relieved of responsibility of all recovered documents by a CIC agent who had arrived about 1800 PST.
