Hi everybody,
Wondering if anybody can help regards a crash that happened in 1942.
Details I have are extremely vague,
Date..28 Jan, 1942.
Place..Cowdenbeath, Fife.
Unknown aircraft crashed into a house in the town. 2 killed in house, fate of pilot unknown.
Thats all I have I’m afraid.
Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
Drem.
