The fire began over Los Gatos Canyon. It started in the left engine-driven fuel pump. The plane crashed 20 miles west of Coalinga, California, on January 29, 1948. It came down into hills which, as one commentator noted, at that time of year are "a beautiful green, splendid with wildflowers ... a place of breathtaking beauty."
Sixty years since the plane wreck at Los Gatos, as memorialised in one of the founding texts of anything you want to call roots.
