Thought you need to know that AN James D. Robbins, a crew member on the USS Briareus AR-12, died in the crash of C-119 (51-7993), 19 March 1954, near Mt. Zion, Maryland, approximately 19-miles east of Andrews AFB. Robbins and 11 other military 'hitch-hikers' and the C-119F crew of six (774th Squadron, 463rd Troop Carrier Wing, Ardmore, OK) died instantly in an apparent weather related accident. A memorial website (http://www.brightok.net/~gsimmons/memorial2.htm) and monument remembers Robbins and others who died while training during WWII and the Korean Conflict.
