Mid-air collision.
2) Mid-Air Collision with aircraft #42-5386, (also a B-17F, piloted by John Gassler).
This plane was piloted by James E. Gallagher, Jr. AviationArchaeology.com lists this accident as KMAC (Killed, Mid-Air Crash).
One crew member I know died, cannot verify which plane, but will make only an assumption that it was this one as it does not list anyone bailing out (BOMAC) on #42-5465. Glenn Robert Minton was listed on his Missouri Death Certificate as having died in this crash (DOA at the hospital), but does not list which plane and which pilot he flew with.
