The aircraft named 'Anciano' was flying back from Africa and was attempting to land at the new El Copero AFB located in Seville. In unknown circumstances, the aircraft crashed upon landing and was damaged beyond repair. All occupants evacuated safely, among them the Spanish Major Carlos Asensio Cabanillas.

The float plane was engaged on a bombing mission over Palma de Mallorca, carrying six crew members. While approaching the island of Cabrera, the airplane was hit by light firearms, forcing the crew to ditch. While trying to reach the shore, the crew was forced to abandon the airplane that sank. All six occupants were taken PoW.

The single engine aircraft was performing a special flight from Cascais to Madrid with one pilot and one passenger on board. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft encountered problems to gain height, hit trees and crashed. While the pilot was slightly injured, the passenger was killed. The Spanish civil war started three days earlier and the passenger, General José Sanjurjo Sacanell, was flying to Madrid to take the lead of the insurrection.

The crew from the 48th Squadron was performing a routine flight along the east coast of England when the left engine failed in flight. The captain attempted to ditch the aircraft some 10 km off Whitstable, Kent. All four crewmen were quickly rescued. The airplane was towed to the harbor of Whitstable and later considered as damaged beyond repair. First accident involving an Avro 652 Anson Mk I.

Crashed in unknown circumstances near Wels Airport, southwest of Linz. Both crew Walter Vogler and Adolf Wawrin were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Dresden-Klotzsche Airport, while in initial climb, the airplane banked left, lost height and crashed in a field just past the runway end. Both occupants were killed, among them General Walther Wever, Chief of Staff of the Air Force of the Wehrmarcht, and his flight engineer. He was en route to Berlin to take part to the funeral of the General Karl Litzmann who passed away at the end of May.

En route, an unexpected situation forced all five crewmen to abandon the aircraft and to bail out. Out of control, the airplane entered a dive and crashed in a prairie located some 24 km northwest of Penonomé. Three crew members were uninjured while two others were killed as their parachute failed to open.
