At Port Lyautey, the C 47 refueled and took on a cargo of Battle Bicycles and medical supplies;
the bicycles were to be used by the 101st Airborne Division (the Screaming Eagles) and were to
be parachuted behind enemy lines in German occupied France on D-Day. The aircraft departed
Port Lyautey on the evening of 16Dec43 en route to RAF St Eval, Cornwall. The crew failed to change
course off Cape Finisterre, Coruña, Spain. When they reached the Irish coastline of the Dingle
Peninsula, assuming it to be south west Cornwall, they descended until the aircraft impacted a
ridge on a mountain called Cnoc na Péiste (a.k.a. Knocknapeasta) in Macgillycuddy's Reeks,
Meallis, County Kerry, Eire on the morning of 17Dec43 [5KIS]. Finally, on 3Feb44 the Gárda
Síochána in Beaufort was notified, and they in turn contacted Army Brigade HQ in Limerick.
On the morning of 4Feb44 a detachment of the I5th Infantry Battalion from Ballymullen Barracks
in Tralee arrived at Mealis and walked to the crash site. Some of the Army party was led to
believe that the aircraft crashed on 3 Feb44 and all future crash reports carried that date.

Zitella Whittle. The crew crawled from the wrecked and burning aircraft and spotted what they
believed to be British soldiers; they were in fact German soldiers who immediately captured them.
They were taken to a nearby village and treated for their immediate injuries, then driven to a
hospital nearby where a German doctor asked Whittle questions about her occupation. In her diary
Whittle wrote that the German doctor "at last shook his head and said, “too bad having a woman,
as you are the first and no one knows exactly what to do.” Whittle became the first and only
American military female prisoner of war in the European Theater.

from its original route and was considered hostile. However, the real cause was a lack of radio communication to
the missile battery and a stupid missile operator. At the start Mozambique officials tried to cover up this fact
and the plane was declared missing. Only when checked, and only at this time did Mozambique officials
admit and advise the plane had actually been shot down by mistake, due to the radio failure of the
missile battery.

hit another C-47, shearing off the nose of 323 and causing both to catch fire. This aircraft was repaired.
