Tail mistake 'caused fatal B52 crash'
A deadly B52 bomber crash off Guam last year was caused by part of the plane's tail assembly being set in the wrong position, a US Air Force investigation report said.
The plane's stabiliser trim was improperly set between 4.5 and 5.0 degrees nose-down at impact, indicating the aircraft had been in a nose-down descent at low altitude, according to a report by the Air Combat Command in Langley, Virginia.
