Bomber crash fragments
When the 65th anniversary of the crash of a B-21 Army Air Force bomber came in 2001, the True Dakotan did a big story on it. We went to the site of the 1945 crash– in western Jerauld County– and , with the permission of landowner Gary Will, we used metal detectors and found these fragments. They have since been donated to the Jerauld County Heritage Museum in Wessington Springs.
