The Taylorcraft BC12-D had touched down and was on landing roll at an uncontrolled airport, when the right main landing gear of a Stearman E-75 touched down on the left elevator of the Taylorcraft. The propeller of the Stearman struck the left side fuselage and left wing of the Taylorcraft. The pilot of the Stearman reported, '...I scanned for traffic and obstacles on the runway...I lined up on center line, I flared for landing and just as I touched down I struck the Taylorcraft which is the first time myself or my passenger had seen it....'
