Incidents in Yorkshire - March 1942.
This list contains all known aircraft accidents and mishaps in Yorkshire during March 1942. A small number are contained on the main section to my website and are linked in accordingly. Unfortunately this month saw a large increase in the number of fatal aircraft accidents in the County, probably in part because the end of the long and hard winter which had gripped the County had finally ended and there were now alot more aircraft in the air.
