Doc,
Some of those people died in planes not normally considered small. But, your point is taken.
The pilot for Buddy Holly's and the others was not qualified to fly the plane they flew. I recall reading a book that pointed out that the altimeter used in that plane worked in the opposite way most altimeters do. In a snow storm, having a unqualified pilot using instruments he was not familiar with turned fatal quickly.
