Visit to the Tillamook Air Museum to talk with Christian Gurling, Museum Curator, about SB2C-5, BuNo 83414, Helldiver that crashed Northwest of Tillamook on March 31, 1948. Pilot Robert Smedley was the only occupant. He was fatally injured in the crash.

During the show, I reference the museum's "Grumman Wildcat." Their version is a General Motors FM-2 Wildcat.
