B-25 Crash in Rincon Mountains, East of Tucson,
on January 20 1945
Ten days after the crash, the missing B-25 was finally located
in a steep canyon of the Rincon Mountains by a member of the Civil Air Patrol
(CAP). The B-25 crashed in a snow storm. Snow buried the debris for
days until a low flying member of the CAP spotted the wreckage.
At one time, this was a great site to visit. Like so many wreck sites,
this one has really gotten picked apart.
