What's everyone looking at? It looks like
someone nosedived into the field.

They're looking at an unusual scattering of ferrous material - of
potentially Japanese origin.

Do you have anymore of Jackson Field ??
My dad was based there (ground crew) from 1943 to 1945.

I have one other in this series that I didn't think was post-worthy, I'll
scan it shortly.


I also have (somewhere) some short videos - mostly of belly landings, that
have been posted here before. Shoot me your email address and I'll
dig 'em out and send them over.

Well, it looks like a crash at least. Check out the engine and prop on the
ground, center left. Rules out augering in, I think.

my guess is: it *used* to be an aircraft.... look at the large
lump to the left side. that might be an engine.
