I believe in mid WW2 my great grandfather was a Lt. Colonel when this story took place. He was flying from the now Birmingham-Shuttlesworth international airport to the US Army Air Corps base in New Orleans to pick up a US Army Air Corps General when he flew under one of the Mississippi River Bridges at the time. He had found a suitable runway to land on, or in reality a wide road. After he had made a turn in the road and US Army convoy forced him off the road forcing him to crash in the woods. That is all I know about this story but had a question. Where did he crash, if anyone could find the plane crashes location he probably would've been around the Mississippi river however other areas could be possible, he was also part of the 15th Observation Squadron at the time possibly
