Are you sure it's 22C? I found a registry record for N33C, a "Frustrated Widow" model aircraft registered by Clifford Kysor in 1949 (see Deregistered aircraft 2 of 2 in the record below) That matches the registration number on the wings of the crashed plane with the very slender (and non-effective) tail surfaces that @fortrena posted. The tail vaguely resembles a torpedo in shape, which would explain the alternative name.
