On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with retired military and commercial pilot Lee Corbin, who happens to be one of the best military aviation and military infrastructure historians in the Pacific Northwest. Corbin talks about his years-long effort to research an Air Force plane crash that took place in Orting, Washington on April 1, 1959 - which inspired a UFO conspiracy theory - and also describes his efforts to memorialize the crew members who died in the crash. PLEASE NOTE: This not an April Fool's Day story, this is all true.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streaming everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
