This was the point Aaron found a piece of the aircraft. We consulting the crash site map we traveled to where the aircraft first impacted the trees. It was clear that the passing of 62 years had allowed the forest to heal any damage to the surrounding trees and plant life. Soon we were finding larger pieces of wreckage littering the ground everywhere. Some were hidden in the dense fern growth others were

clearly visible. The paint and stenciling were in amazing shape. One thing that shocked me was a piece that had written in pencil, "Don't Dimple…", I assume some type of instructions that were written in the Curtis factory as the aircraft was being assembled. It was still readable after all these years. I had heard of such finds on aircraft being restored but to find it on an aircraft that had crashed, burnt and spent that last 62 years in the New England mountains blew me away. I could not help but wonder who wrote that? That thought quickly made me think of the pilot and possible aircrew that was on the aircraft. Looking over this site I could not see how they would have survived a crash like this. So it looks like another adventure might be in order to find out the personal side of the story.
