The flight was initiated in heavy rain falls. After take off, while climbing, both engines lost power and the aircraft lost height before crashing on Mt Digboi located in the Naga mountain range, few miles from the Dinjan Airport. The wreckage was spotted a day later and all three crew members were killed.

Crash landed for unknown reason at Cambrai-Niergnies Airfield. No casualties.

The crew was taking part to the D-Day over Normandy and was towing a glider. While returning to his base in England, the crew was forced to ditch the aircraft into The Channel. While the aircraft sunk and was lost, all four crew members were rescued.

The crew was taking part to the D-Day over Normandy and was towing a glider. Shortly after the glider was released, the twin engine aircraft was shot down by enemy fire. The crew decided to attempt an emergency landing in a field located in the region of Bayeux. While all five occupants were rescued, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew left Dinjan on a cargo flight to Kunming. While cruising some 100 miles from his destination, the crew torn off all communication systems so the Japanese forces based in the region were unable to catch any message. One hour later, while flying in poor weather conditions, the crew torn on the communication systems but the aircraft was off course. Crew tried to localize his position but after a flight of 11 hours and 25 minutes, was unable to locate the airport of Kunming so he decided to abandon the aircraft and bailed out. While the aircraft dove into the ground and crashed, all three crew were rescued.

Aircraft was engaged in a local training mission and was towing two gliders. Shortly after takeoff from runway 05, while climbing, the right engine failed. Right away, the crew dropped both gliders to return to the airport. But the Skytrooper stalled and crashed in a wooded area near the airport. Two crew were injured while the third occupant was killed.

En route, a structural failure forced the crew to reduce his altitude and attempting an emergency landing in an open field. On final, aircraft hit three small rocky wall before coming to rest in a prairie. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all 9 occupants escaped unhurt.

The crew was performing a night training mission and departed Alliance AAF in the evening. While cruising in low visibility, the pilot made a turn to the right when the aircraft hit a mountain slope and crashed. The aircraft was demolished and all five occupants were killed. The aircraft was completing a right turn at the time of the accident and was in a bank angle of 60 degrees upon impact.

The crew was performing a cargo flight with a load of bank notes. On final approach to Kunming, the visibility was low due to heavy rain falls and a cloud layer at 100 feet. The aircraft hit the ground hundreds yards short of runway, broke into several pieces and burned. The copilot was injured while both other occupants were killed. Thousands of bank notes were found on a large area.
