B-57 aircraft crashed on landing due to battle damage (had one engine out with a loss of hydraulic pressure) attempted a missed approach which was not successful.

I was stationed with Dick Hopper at Plattsburgh AFB, NY, flying B-47's and also provided assistance in his check out in the B-57 at Hill AFB, Utah, in the summer of 1967.
