On January 16, 1942, the actress Carole Lombard, famous for her
roles in such screwball comedies as My Man Godfrey and To Be
or Not to Be, and for her marriage to the actor Clark Gable, was
killed when the TWA DC-3 plane she is traveling in crashed en - 
route from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. She was only 33.

Doug Scroggins of Las Vegas spent years documenting the crash
site on Mount Potosi which is 35 miles southwest of Las Vegas.

Scroggins said "Flight 3 crashed near the 8,300-foot level of Mount Potosi with flaps retracted, and the plane in level flight. Something happened inside that cockpit and happened so fast that the pilot
could not react.”
