Brunswick

The crew was completing a local training sortie at NAS Brunswick. On final approach with one engine inoperative (part of the training program), the pilot-in-command lost control of the airplane that stalled and crashed in flames in a wooded area. Four crew members were rescued while six others were killed.

In flight, an engine caught fire and the seaplane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. All four crew members were killed.

Crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Brunswick, during a maritime patrol flight. No trace of the aircraft nor the crew was ever found.

The pilot Paul Rinaldo Redfern, sole on board, was performing a flight from Brunswick, Georgia, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At 1500LT, the crew of a Dutch Ship spotted the aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea. Few hours later, the aircraft named 'Port of Brunswick' disappeared without trace. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended after few days as no trace of the aircraft nor the pilot was found. During a 13th expedition, an American team found the wreckage of the airplane in the jungle of Guyana 10 years later.
