This very limited edition custom deck of just 100 decks was created in 1994 in recognition of the 50 year anniversary of a plane crash. In February 1944 the B-17 Flying Fortress Mi Amigo crashed at Endcliffe Park in Sheffield England while returning from a bombing raid in Europe. The pilot of the \\\'Mi-Amigo\\\', from the 364th Bomber Squadron, based at Chelveston, Northamptonshire, was Lt John Kriegshauser who received a posthumous US Distinguished Flying Cross for his courage in sacrificing the 10 man crew and crashing into the woods rather than attempting to emergency land and hit children playing in the park. At least eleven planes were forced to crash land in Sheffield during the war, including others in the park, but this was by far the worst casualties. A memorial stone now marks the crash site and annual ceremonies are still held in their honor and remembrance. The deck itself has 52 illustrated playing cards, many in a semi-transformation style and was distributed with a booklet by the artist Tony Kemplen. The deck received its name from the Ordnance Survey grid location of the crash site. http://www.kemplen.co.uk/sk329858/cards.htm
