On 17 January 1949 a United States Army Air Forces, Boeing B-29 Superfortress (44-62279) of 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron, was on a flight from RAF Scampton, England to Reykjavík, Iceland. At 9:50am the B-29 crashed into the side of Stob na Boine Druim-fhinn killing all twenty passengers and crew. The cause of the crash was not determined, but the adverse weather and heavy icing were deemed to be contributory factors.[2][3][4][5][6]
