Consolidated PBY Catalina

Crashed in unknown circumstances in Burgaw, killing all seven crew members.

The pilot attempted to land downwind in a rough sea and the Catalina overshot the alighting area and the aircraft's nose dug in, almost causing it to overturn but fell back in an erect position and then caught fire and sank in fairly shallow waters.

Lost without trace while on a mission to Osaka. Probably crashed enroute into the Pacific Ocean. No trace of the aircraft nor the crew was ever found.

Shortly after takeoff from San Francisco, while climbing, the seaplane hit a mountain slope and crashed. Two crew members were seriously injured while seven others were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from the Funafuti harbor, while climbing at a height of 15 feet, the aircraft stalled and hit the water surface. Seven crew members were rescued while three others were drowned with the seaplane that sank by 100 feet deep. Crew was from the 5th Squadron.

The crew was engaged in a night maritime patrol flight and the aircraft was carrying 1,380 gallons of gasoline and 4 x 350lb Mk.41 depth charges. With a wind of 16 knots from 159°, the runway in use was 139°. Cross wind was apparently not corrected for and the plane drifted toward the left side of the runway as it continued the takeoff run. Slightly before becoming airborne, the port wing tip struck a fifteen foot vertical embankment on the left side of the runway. The outer eight feet of the port wing folded back, the plane climbed the embankment and cart wheeled over onto its back. Three bombs were thrown clear. The fourth remained in the wreckage, but did not explode. The aircraft was totally destroyed and five crewmen were killed while three others were injured.
