Default How do I find an old accident report?

Search the NTSB and FAA web sites, they became the holder of
old accident data.

The beam or Adcock Range was a four course range on low
frequency radio. The pilot had to follow detailed procedures
to locate their position and the range was flown by listen
to a continuous Morse code tone of A .- and N -. There were
some visual display indicators, but the tone signs were the
most common method.
The radio frequencies used were subject to many errors in
alignment, static and even being jammed.
