Narrative:
The C-74 crashed when losing the outboard wing sections during an overload dive test. The fabric covered ailerons caused control problems and ultimately the separation of the wing sections.
All four crew members bailed out and parachuted safely.

None hurt when huge plane falls (Nebraska State Journal, The 1946-08-06)
