I am not sure this is the best example. If there was tornadic winds as stated, then no aircraft would severe that. There were also two witnesses that reported lightning just before the engines stopped, a terminal dive would cause one or both wings to come off. Also remember, both experienced pilots and accident investigators in WWII were not even close to the skill level of today. I remember a WWII Army instructor telling me he learned more about instrument flying on a 15 minute flight after the war, then both his prewar and war time flying combined!
