According to the pilot during cruise flight at 6000 feet, the engine power began to decrease. The engine continued to run but was not producing full power. Repeated efforts by the pilot to restore full engine power failed. The pilot radioed Memphis Approach control, and reported an in-flight emergency due to an engine failure. The controller issued the pilot radar vectors to William L. Whitehurst Field, Bolivar, Tennessee. The airplane collided with trees five miles south of the airport. Examination of the airplane revealed that it was heavily fire damaged. There were no abnormalities discovered during the examination of the engine.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was trees.
