Dedham is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. The population was 1,681 at the 2010 census. The town includes the site of a Cold War airplane crash on Bald Mountain.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|44.38|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|39.33|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|5.05|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.[2] The small village corporation of Lucerne-in-Maine lies in a summer resort area along Phillips Lake near the center of the town. It is part of Dedham but has limited taxing and regulatory authority separate from the town's. The Lucerne-in-Maine Village Corp. was established in 1927 to give part-time residents a voice in how the village was run, but in 2017 the village considered dissolving.[3]

History

Dedham, Maine, was named after Dedham, Massachusetts.[4]

1961 F-101 Voodoo crash

Two McDonnell F-101 Voodoo fighters of the 75th Fighter Squadron were scrambled from Dow Air Force Base on the night of 11 April 1961 to intercept an unidentified aircraft approaching the United States. SAGE identified the incoming aircraft as a Strategic Air Command bomber shortly after the fighters were airborne. The fighters' return to Dow was complicated by a light spring rainstorm, creating an icy runway under a 500-foot cloud ceiling. Dow's tactical air navigation system glide slope function was temporarily disabled after the first aircraft landed. The second aircraft was cleared to descend to 2,200 feet, using a two-dimensional radar approach, when it hit Bald Mountain at an elevation of 1,200 feet. Both crewmen in the second aircraft were killed. Investigators concluded the airfield elevation had been incorrectly set on the aircraft altimeter, creating a 1000-foot error unrecognized when aircrew acknowledged only the last two digits of altimeter readings in radio transmissions.[5]
