The P-400 was on a cross-country navex from Goxhill in Lincolnshire. It was approaching the small town of Settle in North Yorkshire when the engine was heard to misfire and smoke began to stream from the engine.
The pilot turned the plane towards open country and then baled out. By this time, unfortunately, he was too low for his parachute to deploy fully and he was killed instantly on impact with the ground.
2nd Lt Cecil Iden Rhodes, O-726682, USAAF, killed in a flying accident.
