Narrative:
Destroyed when an RAF Vultee Vengeance on loan to the US Navy crashed into it on takeoff.

The primary cause of the accident was undetermined, but Air Force investigators concluded that probable cause was an incapacitation of the HC-54 pilot. An autopsy revealed cardiovascular issues which may have caused acute chest pains.
