Aviation Week TitlesAviation: In 1940, two Avro Anson airplanes from an air base in New South Wales, Australia were training together. During the training, they collided and stuck together, one on top of the other, killing the engines of the upper plane, and the controls of the lower. Both crew members bailed out of the lower aircraft, and the navigator bailed out of the upper aircraft. The pilot of the upper plane, Leonard Graham Fuller, age 22, realized he still had control, so flew on for five more miles before making an emergency landing. The upper aircraft was actually fixed and flew again!
After the landing Fuller stated " . . . I did everything we've been told to do in a forced landing. Land as close as possible to habitation or a farmhouse and, if possible, land into the wind. I did all that. There's the farmhouse, and I did a couple of circuits and landed into the wind. She was pretty heavy on the controls, though!" Wikipedia
