Deaths By Individual Air Fields
The Bruning Army Air Field experienced more deaths than any other airfield in Nebraska. The high number is primarily the result of the single C-47 crash that occurred near Naper that took the lives of 28 airmen.
The airfields listed below are home locations for the aircraft. For instance, the crash of the B-17 at Kearney on February 2, 1944, originated from Cheyenne, WY, so is listed for that location. The C-53 that crashed near Malcolm on July 19, 1943, was coming from Cleveland, OH, but was based at Alliance.
