My dad, Richard William Mallon, flew Stormy Weather as co-pilot. He said he heard that the aircraft was lost because it flew into the wake turbulence of another aircraft (they called it 'prop wash' at that time) and the crew didn't react quickly enough. He said that it takes full opposite rudder and aileron, and you have to hold it for a little bit, to escape from that situation.
