The crash claimed six lives, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins tweeted, citing the county medical examiner. Authorities are continuing work to identify the victims, he said. Dallas Fire-Rescue said there were no reports of injuries on the ground. (Photo | AP)

'One of the things we would probably most likely be trying to determine is why those aircraft were co-altitude in the same air space at the same time,' Michael Graham, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, said at a news conference. (Photo | AP)

Debris from two planes that crashed during an airshow at Dallas Executive Airport lies on the ground. US media reports said the B-17 is a big four-engine bomber and was a cornerstone of US air power during World War II. The majority of B-17s were scrapped at the end of World War II and only a handful remain now. (Photo | AP)
