While approaching Portland-Swan Island Field, the pilot encountered poor visibility due to foggy conditions and decided to return to Pasco. Doing so, the aircraft impacted power cables and crashed by a bridge located in Vancouver, near the Columbia River. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot Clarence C. Price was seriously injured. He died from his injuries the following day.

Shortly after takeoff from Bremerton harbor, while in initial climb, the seaplane crashed in the Salish Sea, off the Manette Bridge. Both occupants were killed.

The aircraft departed Colfax at 0800LT bound for Spokane. The flight was uneventful until the captain started the approach to Spokane-Felts Field in foggy conditions. The visibility was low and the pilot attempted to land by diving through what appeared to be a 'hole' in the dense fog bank that covered the city. The aircraft hit the ground in the vicinity of the junction of the Palouse highway and Regal street and was destroyed on impact. Rescuers could evacuate a passenger and the mechanic who were seriously injured, while all four other occupants were killed. Few hours later, the mechanic died from his injuries.

The three engine airplane departed Vancouver on a flight to Seattle with an intermediate stop in Victoria, carrying five passengers and two crew members. While overflying the Puget Sound, the pilot encountered poor visibility due to this fog. Too low, the airplane hit the water surface some 12 miles south of Port Townsend and sank. All seven occupants were killed.

While flying in heavy snow falls, the pilot lost his orientation and the control of the aircraft that crashed in a field in Federal Way. The passenger was killed and the pilot was injured.
