On 1 March 1942, the B-10M 34-83, assigned to the Tow Target Detachment, was making a normal landing at Grenier Field during which the landing gear collapsed causing damage to the propellers and fuselage. None of the five crewmen aboard were injured but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair (or at least damaged enough that repairing this old aircraft was not worth it, and so classified as destroyed).
The crew included:
Maj Crawfor H. Hollidge (National Guard- Federalized)
S/Sgt W. P. Sargent
Sgt W. P. Kenly
Sgt E. L. Rajotte
Pvt E. E. Rich
It was noted by the accident investigation committee that the suspected cause was faulty brakes, and that other B-10’s in other Tow Target Detachments had suffered similar accidents.
