I remember hearing stories of this crash growing up in Perham. It was my grandfather, Read Blackstone, that lead authories into the crash site.

In as much as I can appreciate someone taking the time to put together such a beautiful tribute to these fallen airmen, I have to say that I find it somewhat sacreligious to stand on top of the wing smiling and having one's picture taken where 7 men died. Still, a great video. Thanks for sharing with us all.

It's pretty simple, the were national socialists who wanted to spread their version of enlightenment around the world and bring "peace", the USA/allies wanted to preserve freedom. Of course, there were /are plenty of people, regardless of nationality, on both sides this issue, but despite the odds, humans will always, maybe slowly, maybe sometimes mislead in other directions temporarily first, but always move towards freedom, no matter what, no matter how many die trying, freedom will prevail.

it was a B-25, I used to go here on my atv way before the museum heard about this crash site. The rumor is theres a big gun laying beside a tree,one of the old timers told me this/. They helped with the crash back when it happened and found a large gun used on the plane and set it by a tree and never found it again,forgot where he layed it. They burried alot of it on the crash site. There are bug sink holes where lost of it is hidden. There are alot of bears in this area.

It was wartime, it was their job.

Had they not saboutaged the plane it would have gone on to kill Germans without a doubt. War isnt pretty. And neither was your use of language either, try to watch that will you. Thanks.
