NM COD #1333 for John Virgil Andrews killed in Aircraft Accident 15 June 1943. There are two aircraft involved but do not know if it was a collision or flying formation flew into mountains. COD does not list Birthplace but taking a guess it was West Virginia as it lists his usual residence in Clendenin, W.Va. CODs list accident site 16 miles NE of Ruidosa, NM.
