Jon, Thank you for your comment. It sounds like the same accident. Bob Mason, the author of the article, did a great deal of research before locating the crash site, which remains a secret.

He was as Staff Sergeant and flight engineer. The story we have is that some civilian contractors (possibly General Electric) were at Yuma to run some sort of tests on B-24s. The test aircraft in which the family member died lifted off–I believe from Yuma– with only Pilot, Co-Pilot, Navigator & flight engineer, and a coupled of the Civilians. contractors on board. After completing the tests, and while on landing approach, it collided with a second B-24 that MAY have been coming in from Los Angeles. . Believe all aboard both aircraft perished.
