Sky Island: Dos Cabezas Mountains
Aviation Cadet Marlin D Olson and Lt. Martin John Knight left Douglas Field on a final instrument check under the hood.The flight was to go from Douglas to Cochise to Rodeo to Douglas. Weather was overcast at 6000 to 6500 feet and icing conditions were expected. The plane crashed west of Dos Cabezas peaks killing both men.
Remains of the rudder pedal frame.
Random debris, but the one item looks like a smoke grenade.
Might have been a battery box. I don’t think it was an ammo can.
Door Lock mechanism? It was hard to read.
Possible oil tank to one of the two engines.
Portion of the wing. (P-38.com was my old website.)
Scattered debris at B-18 crash site.
