The pilot, sole on board, departed New York on a mail flight to Cleveland. While approaching Bellefonte from the east at night, he encountered icing conditions.

En route from Cleveland to New York, the engine caught fire. The pilot decided to abandon the aircraft and bailed out. The airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a pasture, bursting into flames. The pilot was uninjured.

The crew departed Detroit on a flight for New York to take part to a new aircraft exhibition. En route, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions due to heavy snow falls.

Both pilots Casimir Kubala and Ludwik Idzikowski attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Paris to New York. A first attempt was made in July 1928 without success. Named 'Marszałek Piłsudski', the aircraft was bought by the Polish Government and was equipped with the Polish Air Force roundel. The crew departed Paris-Le Bourget Airport at 0345LT bound to the west to the Atlantic Ocean. More than an hour later, the engine surged and the crew decided to divert to the Azores Islands. Four hours later, the engine was about to fail so the crew diverted to Horta. On final approach, the aircraft was too low and hit a rocky wall short of runway. It overturned and came to rest upside down, bursting into flames. While Casimir Kubala was slightly injured, Ludwik Idzikowski was killed. The Amiot 123 was built at one example expressly for the Polish Government to attempt this cross Atlantic flight.

In the afternoon of the 3rd of November, they decided to return to the Big Apple on a new nonstop flight. While overflying Arizona by night, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low visibility due to fog and rain. The aircraft named 'Yankee Doodle' hit a canyon wall located northwest of Black Canyon City and was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. Both occupants were killed.

The pilot William Hopson was performing a mail flight from Cleveland to New York. En route, weather conditions worsened and the visibility was poor due to heavy rain falls.

The crew departed Le Havre in the morning on a mail flight to New York with an intermediate stop in Cherbourg. While cruising off the British coast, a magneto failed. The crew was forced to ditch the airplane some 45 km southwest of Bishop Rock, in the Isles of Scilly. Due to rough sea, the crew was unable to take off and was later rescued by fishermen. The aircraft was towed but considered as damaged beyond repair.
