Crashed B-17

In January 1952 this B-17 crashed while on a search and rescue mission.   They were flying in a blizzard and had instruments that failed.  They hit a tree at the peak of the mountain, and crashed.   The plane then slid and tumbled 2000 feet down the mountain while on fire.   5 of the 8 crew members survived.
