Hi did you ever find out any more information? I'm researching my family tree and my Grand Uncle
050 MOSS RN 1380168 - 13/11/1941 ROYAL AIR FORCE VOLUNTEER RESERVE
was in the list. Moss and Marhoff crashed into each other. I'm looking for information. Richard aka Norman Moss's sister died a couple of years ago, I saw her just before and she couldn't really remember a lot so any information is greatly received. The newspaper article is great!

The local library would be more likely to have them than would the court house, I suspect.

I assume you're taking about a local courthouse in USA? I'm in the UK

 

Jeff,

This lady visited the cemetery at Montgomery not long ago and took a few pics. A couple of books are cited, the Arnold Scheme and Montgomery Aviation. I doubt they go into the kind of detail you seek for individual crashes/deaths.

It's amazing though that on one stormy training flight 12 aircraft went down resulting in 7 deaths.
