On 23 August 1944, a United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Consolidated B-24 Liberator crashed during a test flight into the centre of the village of Freckleton, Lancashire, England, killing all three crewmen aboard the aircraft and 58 individuals on the ground, including 38 children aged four to six. This aviation accident would prove to be the deadliest to occur in Britain during World War II, and would remain the second worst aviation accident in the world (in terms of number of fatalities) until the 1950 Llandlow air disaster.

  • Катастрофа B-24 во Фреклтоне — крупная авиационная катастрофа, произошедшая в среду 23 августа 1944 года в деревне Фреклтон графства Ланкашир в Северо-Западной Англии. Бомбардировщик Consolidated B-24H-20 Liberator американских ВВС, завершая тренировочный полёт, заходил на посадку, когда упал на расположенную под ним деревню и снёс несколько зданий, в результате чего погиб 61 человек, в том числе 38 детей. По имеющимся данным, это крупнейшая авиационная катастрофа за всю Вторую мировую войну. (ru)
