THE PLT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, AT ABOUT 700 FT MSL, THE ENG LOST POWER WITH OUT WARNING AFTER HE MADE A POWER REDUCTION TO 2500 RPM & 25 INCHES OF MANIFOLD PRESSURE. HE ATTEMPTED TO GLIDE TO A FIELD, BUT THE ACFT WENT INTO THE TOPS OF TREES BEFORE REACHING THE FIELD. THE ENG WAS EXAMINED & NO PREEXISTING FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER. BOTH FUEL TANKS WERE RUPTURED; THEREFORE, THEIR PREIMPACT CONTENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.
