Junkers JU.52

GSA pilot Peter Manser was making a down-hill takeoff on the sloping strip, carrying a heavy load of sawn timber. Just before becoming airborne the port engine suddenly lost all power, causing the aircraft to swing violently to the left and roll towards the Qantas terminal building and freight shed. The Qantas agent Mrs. Ivy Crawford saw it approaching and ran through the passenger room out on to the airfield and jumped over an embankment as the aircraft struck the building. The port wing sliced through the wooden structure, the roof collapsing as the Junkers kept rolling on to a road, tearing off its rear fuselage before Manser could bring it to a stop. The fuselage was broken into three sections and 12 feet was smashed off the port wing.

The crew was performing a cargo flight from Vitória to Rio de Janeiro. The three engine aircraft was spotted in poor weather conditions between the cities of Araruama, Saquarema and Maricá, between 1600 and 1700LT. It then disappeared in unknown circumstances. No trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. It is possible the aircraft crashed into the Ocean off Maricá.

The JU52 started the approach to Rosario when it collided with an Argentinian Air Force DH.104 Dove registered T-62 and carrying seven crew members. The collision occurred in unclear circumstances. The Dove lost a wing and crashed in a field located eight km south of Villa Mugueta. The pilot of the JU52 attempted an emergency landing but the three engine aircraft eventually crashed in flames. All 20 occupants in both airplanes were killed.

After an uneventful first pass over the plantations, the pilot-in-command completed a circuit in an attempt to make a second low pass when, during a turn at low height, the left wing hit a tree. The aircraft stalled and crashed. Both pilots and two passengers were killed while the fifth occupants was injured. The aircraft was destroyed.
