17 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find18 ings: 

19 (1) In 1943 and 1944, the United States 

20 Armed Forces operated a rest and relaxation facility 

21 in Mackay, Queensland, Australia, for troops serving 

22 in the Pacific Theater during World War II. 

23 (2) On June 14, 1943, a Boeing B–17C was 

24 transporting 6 crew members and 35 servicemen 

25 from Mackay to Port Moresby, New Guinea, to re-
370 

•S 1042 PCS 

1 turn the servicemen to duty after 10 days of rest 

2 and relaxation leave at an Army/Red Cross facility. 

3 (3) The aircraft crashed shortly after take-off 

4 at Bakers Creek, Australia, killing all 6 crew mem5 bers and 34 of the 35 servicemen being transported 

6 in what was at that point the worst crash in Amer7 ican air transport history, and what remains the 

8 worst air disaster in Australian history. 

9 (4) Due to wartime censorship rules related to 

10 the movement of troops, the tragic crash and loss of 

11 life were not reported to the Australian or United 

12 States public. 

13 (5) Many family members of those killed did 

14 not learn the circumstances of the troops deaths 

15 until they were contacted by the Bakers Creek Me16 morial Foundation beginning in 1992. 

17 (6) As of May 2005, the Bakers Creek Memo18 rial Foundation had contacted 36 of the 40 families 

19 that lost loved ones in the tragic crash, and was con20 tinuing efforts to locate the remaining four families 

21 to inform them of the true events of the crash at 

22 Bakers Creek. 

23 (7) The Australian people marked the tragic 

24 crash at Bakers Creek with a memorial established 
371 

•S 1042 PCS 

1 in 1992, but no similar memorial has been estab2 lished in the United States. 

3 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con4 gress that the Secretary of the Army may establish an 

5 appropriate marker, at a site to be chosen at the discretion 

6 of the Secretary, to commemorate the 40 members of the 

7 United States Armed Forces who lost their lives in the 

8 air crash at Bakers Creek, Australia, on June 14, 1943.
