Suggestion from Findagrave contributor, Andy:
The date is May 23, 1945, just 15 days after Germany surrenders in World War II. An Army Air Corps C-46 "Commando" aircraft with a crew of five and carrying 40 wounded American soldiers and repatriated prisoners of war to hospitals in the Paris area--and, then, finally home--plunges from the skies just outside the village of Taillefontaine, near Paris, with one of its two engines on fire. All on board are killed, including the wounded on their way to recovery and home.
