Edit of history. The history said '5 roads' and one of those named (Bloomfield...) seems unconnected with the memorial. The memorial itself says '4 roads'. In the edit I change '5' to '4' and deleted the fifth listed road (Bloomfield Way). The four remaining roads as named all have relevant connections: 'Portsch' and 'Seavert' are the surnames of those who died in the crash, the plane was a Flying 'Fortress', and Seavert's home was in 'Ohio'.
