Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3)

While descending to New Delhi-Safdarjung Airport, the pilot-in-command made a last turn to the left to join the approach path when the left engine failed. The airplane stalled and crashed in a field, killing all nine occupants.

Crashed in unknown circumstances off Incheon, South Korea, killing all eight crew members. They were taking part to the evacuation of US wounded soldiers.

Crashed in unknown circumstances near Merrill Pass, about 110 miles west of Anchorage. All five crew members were killed.

On final approach to Agartala Airport, an engine failed. The pilot-in-command elected to make an emergency landing when the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located few hundred yards short of runway. All four crew members were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Otis AFB, while climbing in clouds at an altitude between 6,000 and 7,000 feet, the VC-47 collided with a USAF Lockheed F-94B Starfire registered 51-5407 and carrying a crew of two. Both airplanes went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a field located few miles from the airbase. All 12 crew members on both aircraft were killed. It appears that the collision occurred while both aircraft were flying in clouds and each crew failed to see each other.

Shortly after takeoff from Beirut Airport, the aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in Choueifat, about 2 km east of the airfield. At least one crew member was killed in the accident.

The twin engine aircraft hit power cables and crashed on the slope of Mt Loma Prieta (3,786 feet high) located about 15 miles south of San José. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all four crew members were killed. At the time of the accident, the visibility was poor.

While approaching Brookley AFB on a flight from Maxwell AFB, Alabama, the twin engine aircraft collided with a USAF Douglas C-124A-DL Globemaster II. Registered 50-1260, the four engine aircraft was performing a local training sortie from Brookley AFB with a crew of six on board. Following the collision, both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a huge explosion in a car parking lot located about 6 miles north of the airbase. Both aircraft were destroyed and all 15 crew members were killed.

The aircraft was completing a charter flight from Madrid to Norrköping with an intermediate stop in Bordeaux, carrying a crew of six and 22 members of a Swedish football team. While descending to Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in poor weather conditions, a technical failure occurred on one engine. The captain realized that it was not possible to reach the airport of Bordeaux so he reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing on a beach located three km north of Mimizan. The airplane belly landed on the sand beach, slid for dozen yards and came to rest partially submerged. All 28 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair.

Just after liftoff, while climbing, the airplane stalled and crashed. Eight passengers and two crew members were killed while 19 other occupants were injured.
