Seven Lives Lost In
Two Military Crashes
By the Auociated Press
Mishaps involving two military
planes Wednesday and yesterday
cost at least seven lives.
Three airmen perished when
engine trouble forced a KC-97
Stratotanker to ditch in the At
lantic Ocean 40 miles off the
Florida coast Wednesday night.
Eleven others were plucked from
the water by rescue craft.
Early yesterday a six-engine
B-47 jet bomber exploded over
Little Rock, Ark., showering
flaming wreckage in a plunge to
the earth near the state capitol.
Portions of the craft cut a fiery
swath through at least seven
frame homes and destroyed them.
Three crew members lost their
lives and a man perished in a
house fire caused by the crash.
An elderly woman was believed
trapped in another burning home.
One plane crewman parachuted
to safety, though with serious
burns.
The two planes cost the govern
ment a total of $3,262,000. The Air
Force lists the bomber at $2,057,
000 and the "tanker at $1,205,000.
The two crashes came on the
■heels of a tragic series of major
commercial and military air dis
asters which have taken nearly
500 lives since the first of the
year.
The Air Force tanker craft was
en route from Newfoundland to
its home base in Tampa, Fla.,
when forced down in darkness
with only two of its four engines
operating.
Survivors, bobbing in life jack
ets and rubber rafts, attracted the
attention of rescue planes and
ships with flares and flashlights.
The flares could be seen from
the shores at the Cape Canaveral
rocket launching site.
The B-47 jet bomber was on an
early morning mission from the
Litle Rock AFB, an installation of
the Strategic Air Command.
A piece of the plane fell on and
broke a power transmission line
in West Little Rock, cutting off
electricity from several thousand
homes for 45 minutes.
