On November 18, 1944, a U. S. Army C-47 Air Transport Command airplane was making a landing at Mount Tobe Airport in Plymouth when the plane went off the runway and was badly damaged. There were no reported injuries. The aircraft was later hauled back onto the runway by a “crash truck” sent from Bradley Field in Windsor Locks. It was reported that repairs would take about a week before the plane could take off again. No further details are known.
