Aircraft search for missing U S bomber extends up Pacific coast
On the Washington coast and from Vancouver to California police and Army observers scoured the Pacific shoreline for a twin motor bomber missing since Thursday. Col William Crom at McChord Field said radio silence and weather hindered locating the plane and crews, though sightings near Mount Rainier and Toutle River prompted reports from timber crews about a large plane near treetop height before vanishing into clouds.
