I am researching an incident that occurred the winter of 44-45. A saboteur apparently falsified a weather report, which resulted in a squadron of bombers leaving on a training mission and flying right into a blizzard. Only 2 planes made it back, the rest bailed out. It would have been in the Toronto area, and possibly in the newspapers of the time. Thanks. |

What airbase? What squadron? Type of plane ? Doubt it was sabotage as even in 1944 there would have been multiple sources for weather reports particularly in the Southern Ontario area. Various sites on German agents in North America make no mention of activities in Ontario. Here is a link to a list of Canadian disasters including the winter of 1944/45 there is no listing of such a crash. The "great" blizzard of 1944 caused 21 deaths link Here is a link to that storm again no mention of plane crashes link |
