    In February 1945, an American Liberator Bomber, "Beautiful Betsy", crashed into what is now Kroombit Tops National Park while on a "Fat Cat" run from Darwin to Brisbane, transporting men and supplies as part of a regular flight.

    The wreckage of "Beautiful Betsy" was not discovered until 49 years later, on 2 August 1994, when park ranger Mark Roe was checking the results of a controlled burn-off in Kroombit Tops National Park, about 80 kilometres from Gladstone.
