Very interesting. There is, however, a minor error of omission in the
account of the crash. At least according to my father-in-law who was there that
day in January, 1945 and witnessed the crash. According to him, while
having lunch in the O-club the pilot made a bet with someone (or more likely
with several someones) that his new P-61B could "climb Mt Cyclops". He almost
made it.
