in peru there were many aircraft accidents. thanks heaven not in recent years! but your post made me investigate about this 1947 crash you're writing, but excuse my ignorance, I don't even know about this story. but I will ask my family if they know something. there was an aircraft crash in the sea in front of Lima (the capital city) that was the worst accident in the hisotry of peruvian aviation. this crash made change a lot in the airplanes all over the world as the aviation systems had improved a lot since. sadly but true. and the cause was because a stupid aircraft engineer left a metallic tape near the radar when doing the check just before the airplane departed. of course every one involved directly or indirectly are now in jail, because of their negligence. well, I was only 7 or 8 years old when it happened, but this story stills scrares me a lot. but as I told before, in the late 90s and in the 2000s there were minor incidents but not fatal, compared to other countries.
