The story of an aviation tragedy, written on a C-47 door

On 10 December 1942, C-47A SN 41-18564 crashed into Mount Obree in the Owen Stanley Range of New Guinea. Seventeen of the 23 men aboard survived the crash. When discovered in 1961, the wreckage contained a record from 10 November until 31 December 1942 written in charcoal on the aircraft’s rear cargo door.
