Capt. Glen Collins was the radar observer in the
F-89 which crashed into a marsh at the edge of Lake Wingra, in Madison,
Wisconsin, on the same day the F-89 disappeared over Lake Superior. From
information I received from a member of the 433rd Fighter Interceptor
Squadron, he "was just along for the ride" on the fatal flight.
He was a veteran of the World War II.
He was married with two daughters at the time of his
death. He was from Indianapolis, Indiana.
