Spokane Daily Chronicle - Jun 10, 1955
"Two aerial uranium prospectors crashed in their light plane about 15 miles southwest of Chewelah today.
The pilot this afternoon was in the Chewelah hospital with back and internal injuries. He said his observer-passenger still was at the wilderness crash scene with a broken leg.
The pilot was identified at the hospital by the doctor who treated him as Carl Kroells of Burbank, Calif.
The passenger was believed to be Oddmund Fagerness, also of Burbank.
Both were employed by Fairchild Aerial Survey company of Burbank. A third Fairchild employee, Fuss LaRose, also is registered with them at the Desert hotel. He was not on the flight and was at the hotel during the morning, hotel employees reported.
This afternoon a number of carloads of Chewelah residents and at least two airplanes were searching the rugged forrested area for the plane and the second man.
George Bates of the CAA's Interstate airways communications station at Geiger field said the pair, in a Vultee L-13 light plane, left Feltsfield at 5:45 a.m. today and crashed at about 8 a.m. west of the Keystone quarry southwest of Chewelah.
The Chewelah doctor reported that Kroells said at the hospital that he had "walked, crawled and stumbled" some distance from the plane wreckage to the highway, where he was picked up by a passing truck driver and rushed to St. Joseph's hospital in Chewelah.
The doctor said Kroells did not know how far, how long or in what direction he had gone from the crash scene because he had "passed out" from time to time, then awakened and resumed his tortuous hike through the wilderness. He left his partner at the scene, he said.
He indicated to the doctor that he had been seeking uranium ore with the aid of an airplane-borne scintillation counter.
The plane was being flown out of Gage Air service at Felts field, Gage officials said this afternoon.
Downdraft hits plane
The pilot told the doctor that as he was flying low a downdraft of air caught the plane and it crashed into the tree tops.
A Gage plane and a civil air patrol plane from Chewelah were in the air this afternoon seeking the downed plane.
The doctor said a number of Chewelah residents immediately got together and took off for the wreck area to help find Kroell's [sic] partner.
It could not be immediately established who had hired the fliers but it was reported that Newmont Mining corporation has been having Fairchild aerial survey do some work in this area. A newly formed Newmont subsidiary, Dawn Uranium Company, is developing the Midnight uranium mine on the Spokane Indian reservation 20 miles southwest of the crash scene."

Flixton near the town of Bungay, Suffolk, England. Bungay was a small town three miles from Flixton, and 113 miles northeast of London. The town was rich in historic lore. There was a castle which had been the stronghold of a Norman follower of William the Conqueror in 1075. Even the Devil, himself, figured in Bungay's history. The Devil was supposed to have paid the town a visit one Sunday morning in 1577. Appearing as a black dog, he strangled two parishioners in a church.The black dog is still in Bungay, but he swings on a weather vane in the town square. In 1258 an Augustinian nunnery was founded at Flixton. The small town with stores and homes with the old world architecture was surrounded by farmland and bicycles were a way to get around. The weather was lousy and it was always muddy. Flixton airfield was located two miles south of Bungay and had three intersecting runways, that formed a triangle.
Runway 05-23 at six thousand feet long, was the main runway; 10-28 at four thousand four hundred forty feet long; and 36-18 at four thousand two hundred feet long. The airfield had two hangers, fifty hard stands, headquarters site, technical site, sick quarters, four defense sites, eight communal sites, and one Women's Army Air Forces (W.A.A.F.) site. Bungay's main resident was the 446th Bomb Group (Heavy) which gained the nickname "The Bungay Buckaroos". Commanded by Colonel Jacob J. Brogger, the group had four squadrons of B-24 Liberators--the 704th, 705th, 706th and 707th. The 446th first mission was flown on December 16, 1943. The target was Bremen, Germany. Bombers form into formations to increase offensive and defensive strength. Bomber Squadrons form into two types, depending on the mission. The squadron stagger formation. Where, with nine planes, there are three aircraft in three sets of three in a "V", like Canada geese. Three to the left in a "V" of the first "V", and three to the right in a "V" of the lead "V". In the lead set of three, the lead aircraft is in front with a wingman to his left, to the rear and above him. The third aircraft is to leads right and below him, behind the left wingman's aircraft. Each aircraft is at a different altitude. The second set of three is in the same formation as the first three, but its lead aircraft is behind and above the left wingman of the first set. The third set of three is located with its lead aircraft behind the first sets right wingman, but below him. The second type, is the javelin down formation. This formation, again with nine aircraft, has three sets of three. The first set, lead in front with wingmen on either side, behind and above. Second set same formation as the first with its lead behind the first sets lead but above the first sets wingmen. The third sets lead is behind and in line with the leads of the first two sets, but above the second sets' wingmen.
Components of a formation are divided into four parts. There is the "element", consisting of two to four aircraft. These aircraft are part of a squadron. A squadron consists of two to four or more elements. The third component is the group. A group is two or more squadrons. The 446th had four squadrons. A combat wing consists of two or more Groups. The 446th was part of the 20th combat wing which consisted of the 93rd, 446th, 448th, and 489th bomb groups. So, the 704th Bomb Squadron could have eight or more aircraft. The 446th Bomb Group could have thirty-two or more aircraft. The 20th combat wing could have one hundred twenty-eight or more aircraft. The 20th combat wing was part of the 2nd Bombardment Division which consisted of the 2nd, 14th, 20th, and the 96th combat wings. There could be over 500 aircraft in this division. And there were 3 divisions in the mighty 8th Air Force.
Thursday, February 24, 1944. For their fourth mission, mission 27, "Brown Noser" was going back to Gotha. On this mission "Brown Noser" would lose a crew member. The Eighth Air Force will dispatch five hundred five heavy bombers against aviation-industry targets at Gotha, Kreising, Posen (Poznan Poland), Schweinfurt, Rostock, Eisenach, and Tutow, Germany. One hundred sixty-nine B-24's of the 2nd Bombardment Division, attack Gotha. The weather is clear. There is heavy flak and several fighters. Approximately one thousand seven hundred fifty tons of bombs are dropped on this mission by the 8th Air Force. Over Gotha, fragmentation bombs are used for the first time. An aircraft factory airfield, where forty to sixty planes are parked, is hit. The factory and the city were also hit with good results. Flak was intense and accurate. The 446th bomb group is escorted by P-47s, P-38s and P-51 fighters. The weather is clear and it is twenty-six degrees below zero at their bombing altitude. A B-24, "Lady Barbara" (42-99978), receives a direct hit in the fuel tank by anti-aircraft fire. All ten crewmen bailed out and were taken prisoner. Flak also hits a second aircraft (42-10082), piloted by Second Lieutenant Carl Kroells, but limps to Vilvoorde, Belgium where it crashes. Sergeant Jack Renner and Sergeant Marshall Murray are killed in the
crash. The other eight crewmen, including Lieutenant Kroells, Second Lieutenant Richard Paquette (co-pilot), Second Lieutenant Abraham Dorsman (bombardier), Second Lieutenant James Toolan (navigator), Sergeant Claude Fisher, Sergeant Earl Minnoe, Sergeant Richard McAuley, and Sergeant Rudolph Vidmar, are taken prisoner. Sergeant Rudolph Vidmar was the engineer--top turret gunner on "Brown Noser", but. on this mission, Sergeant James M. Perry may have taken Sergeant Vidmar's place on "Brown Noser". A third aircraft "Henry's Pride" (42-7574), was severely damaged by cannon fire. It makes it back to England where the crew bailed out, but Second Lieutenant Cecil Miller (pilot) stays with the aircraft. It crashes and Miller is killed. Miller was posthumously awarded the Silver Star. On this mission, several fighters were seen going down and forty-four B-24s accidentally bomb Eisenach, Germany The 8th Air Force loses sixteen B-17s and thirty three B-24s with four hundred eighty-four crewmen missing.
