How do I find an old accident report?

You might start by narrowing down the year! (Note that the U.S. was
not actively engaged in the war in 1940.) Then check the microform
files of the Denver Post, which ought to be available in Colorado
research libraries, the Library of Congress, and perhaps others.

My uncle was killed in aircraft accident in WWII, 1940 something. Is
it possible to get the accident report on the crash? I know very
little about the crash. He was flying out of Denver for a feeder
airline. He was not flying he was the stew. He was a pilot working his
was up. They crash into the Rockies. The account I heard was the bean
went askew and directed them in to the mountain.

I don't know if it is possible to get accident report that old. If it
is what information do I need?

Historic accident reports are he

It is perhaps the United Airlines accident in November, 1940, near Salt
Lake City, where the navigation system had been acting up, and the aircraft
flew into a mountain?

This thread is close to a subject I've been looking for. Is it
possible to find historical accidents from Canada on the Web? Not GA
accidents but actually a Canadian military accident. Around Spring
1983, a fighter impacted a peak on Vancouver Island (IIRC) in IMC.
I was up there and read the newspaper account but didn't keep the info.
I've tried off and on but no luck. Any ideas?
