Example of a USAF unedited report

This is an example of an edited report AAIR received from the US Air Force a number of years ago compared to the same report printed out from AAIR's microfilm.

Edited Report from the Air Force
Not bad, just a negative rather than a positive
Unedited Report from AAIR
Much easier to read
 
Edited Report from the Air Force
is heavily redacted
Unedited Report from AAIR
contains much more information
 

The two pages above are what would be considered the Cover Page and Synopsis Page.

The pages below were left out by the Air Force from AAIR's original request. Information such as witness statements and coordinates were left out, all of which helps tell the story and are important in locating the site.

Wittness Statement
Control Tower Statement
Engineering Officer Statement
Crash Certificate
Operations Order
Aircraft Clearance
Report Cover Letter

While the photos below are not all that great they at least show that the B-24 hit near the top of a ridge spreading debris over the top and back down the other side.
