  FROM "The Anniston Alabama Star", 17 Sep 1942 (newspapers.com) BIRMINGHAM CRASH KILLS SIX FLIERS Army Bomber Crashes Peak of Double Oak Mountain BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 17 - Names of the the six victims of the crash of an Army B-26 medium bomber on Double Oak Mountain was revealed today by the Birmingham Army air base. They were: Lieut. Frank W. Taylor, Houston, Tex.; Lieut John A. Johnson, Evanston, Il., Lieut. Bill S. Wade, Long Beach, Calif., Sgt. William John Town, Detroit; Sgt. Reynold J. Drott, Houma, La.; Pvt. Gorman B. Schlottman, Barrington, Ill. The place from Drane Field, Lakeland, Fla., struck a peak on the mountain, 20 miles from Birmingham, yesterday. A seventh man, first believed in the ship, was not aboard. Visibility was poor at the time of the crash and the pilot was believed to have rammed into the peak just after he turned sharply to avoid another. The plane struck some 400 years form the Birmingham-Childersburg highway in the rocky area covered with mountain oaks. Traffic congested considerably on the highway and it was some time before highway patrolmen could clear away cars and spectators.
