Air crash in Australia

The 1940 Canberra air disaster was an aircraft crash that occurred near Canberra, the capital of Australia, on 13 August 1940, during World War II. All ten people on board were killed: six passengers, including three members of the Australian Cabinet and the Chief of the General Staff; and four crew. The Lockheed Hudson aircraft is believed to have stalled on its landing approach, when it was too low to recover.
