B17 crash, more info

Looks like contamination was not an issue for this incident. The article states there was a "mag problem" and the airplane did not get above 500 agl.

I don’t know if they knew what they were talking about, but the fuel crew at our airport said that the B17 was misfueled. IOW jet A.

The preliminary report addresses this issue and it seems misfueling was highly unlikely.
