Anson Mk.1 6272 attached to No.2 ANS Pennfield Ridge - Presque Isle Army Air Field, Presque Isle , ME @ 0900 hours - Cat. "B"
OCCUPANTS
Duty On Which Engaged: Cross Country Navigation Training Flight.
Nature Of Accident And Stage Of Flight: The flight was from Pennfield Ridge to Edmunston, N.B. to Pennfield Ridge. While returning from Edmunston at approximately 11:40 hours, the port engine began to
loose revolutions and to vibrate. As the nearest aerodrome was Presque Isle, Maine, the pilot altered course to that field and landed there. He taxied to the hangar on the North end of the field, but was told to go to the Control
Room. In attempting to turn at the end of the runway, the brakes either did not hold or the wheels skidded on the ice and the pilot found he could not stop, and as he was headed for a fence along the roadway, attempted to turn the
aeroplane, which was travelling slowly at the time by means of the engines. The Aircraft started to turn, but the centrifugal force of the turn, together with the wind on the keel surface of the aircraft, caused it to slide
sideways while turning, so it struck a dry portion of the runway and the port oleo leg gave way, causing the port wing to strike the ground, The Startboard oleo leg then gave way and the aircraft landed on its belly. Primary Cause: High tail wind and icy runways. Secondary Cause Or Contributing Factors: Aircraft ground looped, causing failure of undercarriage. SOURCE: Accident Report Card (copy in archive holdings of "Pennfield Parish Military Historical Society"). Station ORBs
15-1-42: Anson aircraft 6272 made a forced landing due to engine trouble at Presque Isle, Maine. No one injured and
