A group of seven Caproni Ca.135 departed Sardinia to be delivered to the Spanish Air Force in Palma de Mallorca. En route, the group encountered stormy weather.

The float plane departed Cadiz on a flight to Rome with intermediate stops in Pollença (Balearic Islands) and Alghero, Sardinia, carrying 10 passengers and four crew members. It took off from Pollença around noon. At 1430LT, while cruising over the Mediterranean Sea, the radio operator reported his position and informed ground he was encountering very bad weather conditions with storms. This was the last transmission received from the crew. As the airplane failed to arrive in Alghero, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the 14 occupants was ever found.

While overflying the Mediterranean Sea, the crew encountered engine problems and was forced to ditch the aircraft some 80 km off Algiers. The aircraft landed smoothly and the crew sent a mayday message, reporting his position. Four hours later, the crew of the ship named 'El Biar' arrived on scene and was able to evacuate seven people. Unfortunately, a passenger, Mr. Bergerot (senator and businessmen in Algiers) drowned. The four engine aircraft (two push-pull engines) named 'Ville de Nice' was later towed by the French tugboat named 'Colonel Casse' but sank and was lost.

Laurent Guerrero, pilot +3.

The seaplane departed Barcelona at 0700LT on a flight to Rome with intermediate stops in Marseille and Genoa, carrying eight passengers and a crew of four. About an hour into the flight, the crew encountered engine problems and the captain ditched the airplane in the Mediterranean Sea. After several mayday messages were send, three ships rerouted to the accident site. All 12 occupants were evacuated safely by the crew of the French ship named 'Almansour'. The airplane was abandoned and washed up on a beach of the north coast of the Minorca Island on July 23.

En route from Marseille to Algiers, the engine failed, forcing the crew to ditch the aircraft some 165 kilometers off Algiers at 0930LT. The crew was able to converse until 1155LT when the radio contact was lost. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended on December 17 as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. An empty liferaft was found few days later some 30 kilometers west of Algiers. On January 18, 1932, a herdsman found the dead body of the pilot on a beach located near Philippeville.

René Bourguignon, radionavigator.

One hour after his departure from Marseille, the crew experienced an engine failure and was forced to ditch the aircraft. All three occupants were rescued by the crew of the Spanish ship named 'Helius' while the aircraft, trying to be towed, sank and was lost.
Crew:
Mr. de Visa, pilot,
Maurice Thomasset, radio navigator,
Mr. Mailland, mechanic.

En route, the pilot was forced to ditch the aircraft for unknown reasons. All three crew members survived and were later rescued while the aircraft sank and was lost.

On the leg from Casablanca to Alicante, while cruising by night between Spain and Morocco, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with thunderstorm activity. The aircraft went out of control and crashed in the sea, maybe between Ceuta and Melilla. SAR were organized but all operations were suspended after few days as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. More than a month later, in March 1930, a mail package was found on a beach in Mostaganem.
