C124 Crash 11/22/52 Alaska

Comments: I obtained a copy of an accident report involving the C 124 which crashed on 11/22/52 - at least 52 lives lost. Plane was enroute from McChord Air Base in Washington State to Elmendorf AFB in Alaska. I will be checking the ABMC web site to see whether the casualties are included in the Korean War Veterans Honor Roll. It is my understanding that none of the remains of the military personnel were ever recovered. ken page, troy, ny
