WW2 family story
I believe in mid WW2 my great grandfather was a Lt. Colonel when this story took place. He was flying from the now Birmingham-Shuttlesworth international airport to the US Army Air Corps base in New Orleans to pick up a US Army Air Corps General when he flew under one of the Mississippi River Bridges at the time. 119
He had found a suitable runway to land on, or in reality a wide road. After he had made a turn in the road and US Army convoy forced him off the road forcing him to crash in the woods. That is all I know about this story but had a question. Where did he crash, if anyone could find the plane crashes location he probably would've been around the Mississippi river however other areas could be possible. 119
