Evidently, Counselman and Murray had purchased the plane surplus
and were flying it to an air show "in Taos". They encountered a violent storm in the Baldy area that disabled their navigation
equipment. Knowing that they needed power to clear Baldy, they put the throttles ahead full. Unfortunately, the plane was
not level at the time, and instead was nose down. Accordingly they essentially did a full-power dive into the side of French
Henry.

MUCH OF THE WRECKAGE COLLAPSED INTO THE IMPACT CRATER. THE DEGREE OF DESTRUCTION WAS CONSISTENT WITH A HIGH SPEED IMPACT.
CHORDWISE SCRATCH MARKS WERE FOUND ON THE PROP BLADES. SEVERAL TREE BRANCHES & LIMBS AT THE CRASH SITE HAD SMOOTH CUTS.
THE PLT WAS TYPE RATED IN THE A-26, BUT HIS CERTIFICATE HAD A LIMITATION THAT RESTRICTED HIM TO FLYING IT IN 'VFR ONLY.' NEITHER

History: Rhodes Berry Co, Los Angeles CA.
Silver Sixty 1960 = Conversion of Douglas B-26B. 14pCmwM rg; two 2000hp P&W R-2800-79; span: 70'0" length:
51'3" load: 14,500# v: 405/325/95 range: 1200; ff prototype: 6/25/60 [N5510V].
The plane was uniquely fitted with a rear opening cargo ramp
Possibly the ugliest of all Invader conversions, the Rhodes Berry Silver 60 was built at Whiteman Airpark
in the San Fernando Valley of southern California during the late 1950s. The fuselage was completely re-designed resulting
in a swollen unit that could accommodate up to 16 passengers. Because of the deeper fuselage, the nose gear could now retract
straight back without first swiveling as on stock Invaders. The first and probably the only Silver 60 flew on 25 June 1960.
It is thought another example was built but information relating to this aircraft cannot be found. |

I had a really useful mail from Alan Pike regarding the
above accident
You have 44-35950 the only Aero Trades conversion being converted to Garrett
Turbo props at some late date.
My father was a corporate pilot flying out of Bridgeport Airport in the
early 1950’s. I believe Joe Whitney may have been
at my fifth birthday on Oct 1, 1955.
On Oct 3, 1955 44-35950 blew up in flight
with Joe Whitney at the controls. Joe had left GLC to pursue a new career in architecture.
He had designed his own house as part of that. Another pilot was on
vacation and they asked Joe if he could come back and fill in.
Sadly he did.
Thank you for a wonderful site. These are singular airplanes.

Probable Cause Approval Date: 12/4/1992
Aircraft: DOUGLAS A-26B, registration: N9150
Injuries: 2
Fatal, 6 Uninjured.
A T-37 AND AN A-26 COLLIDED IN FLIGHT AT 9500 FEET MSL WHILE PRACTICING
AN ACROBATIC MANEUVER. THE MANEUVER REQUIRED THE T-37 TO PASS UNDER THE RIGHT WING OF THE A-26, AND TERMINATE THE MANEUVER
WITH A ROLL. ACCORDING TO THE A-26 PILOT, THE FIRST FLY-BY WAS COMPLETED OUTBOARD THE RIGHT WING WITHOUT INCIDENT. BUT, ON
THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE A-26 PILOT NOTICED THAT THE RUDDER AND A PORTION OF THE RIGHT RUDDER AND HORIZONTAL STABILATOR WERE
MISSING AS THE AIRPLANE EMERGED FROM BENEATH THE RIGHT WING. EXAMINATION OF THE A-26 AND RECOVERED COMPONENTS INDICATED CRUSH
AND IMPACT DAMAGE FROM CONTACT WITH THE RIGHT PROPELLER OF THE A26. THE A-37 CRASHED AND BURNED.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable
cause(s) of this accident as follows:
THE T-37 PILOT MISJUDGED THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN HIS AIRCRAFT AND
THE A-26.

Accident occurred Sunday, June 27, 1993
in KANKAKEE, IL
Probable Cause Approval Date: 10/20/1994
Aircraft: DOUGLAS B-26B, registration: N8036E
Injuries:
2 Minor.
THE AIRPLANE'S RIGHT ENGINE LOST POWER SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF.
THE PILOT SAID HE ATTEMPTED TO FEATHER THE RIGHT ENGINE PROPELLER, BUT THE PROPELLER WOULD NOT FEATHER. HE WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN
ALTITUDE, AND THE AIRPLANE CRASHED JUST OFF THE RUNWAY. POSTACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE RIGHT ENGINE DISCLOSED A FRACTURED/PARTIALLY
DISINTEGRATED PISTON IN THE NUMBER TEN CYLINDER. THE RIGHT ENGINE'S PROPELLER FEATHERING SYSTEM WAS ALSO INOPERATIVE.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable
cause(s) of this accident as follows:
the failure of the piston assembly in the number ten cylinder
of the right engine. A factor associated with the accident was the inoperative propeller feathering system for the right engine.
