The 1943 Gillam plane crash was an aviation accident and wilderness survival ordeal in southeast Alaska involving a Morrison-Knudsen Construction Company Lockheed 10-B Electra, registration NC14915, piloted by Alaska aviator Harold Gillam. The aircraft crashed on January 5, 1943, during a flight from Boeing Field in Seattle to Annette Island Army Airfield in the Territory of Alaska, while en route to Anchorage. The aircraft suffered left-engine failure in severe weather and crashed in mountainous terrain about 30 miles east of Ketchikan, Alaska, near Boca de Quadra.
