United States Air Force - USAF (since 1947)

Just after takeoff, while climbing, an engine failed. The aircraft lost speed, stalled and crashed in a field located 0,3 miles past the runway end. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On approach to Goose Bay following a transatlantic flight from RAF Fairford, the aircraft was misaligned and crashed in a wooded and hilly terrain located 26 km southwest of the airport. Fifteen crew members were injured and two others (seated in the rear part of the cabin) were killed.

En route from Beppu to Ashiya AFB, the seaplane hit the slope of a mountain located three km southwest of Moji, killing all eight occupants. At the time of the accident, the visibility was limited due to marginal weather conditions.

On approach to Bitburg AFB, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with snow falls. Too low, the airplane hit tree tops and crashed in a dense wooded area located about 24 km north of the airbase. All five crew members were killed.

On final approach, the aircraft was too low and hit the ground short of runway threshold. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft was on its way from Carswell AFB to RAF Fairford with an intermediate stop in Goose Bay, taking part to the 'Operation Styleshow', consisting of a transfer of 18 Convair B-26 from the US to the UK. While approaching RAF Fairford, the crew encountered poor weather conditions. Despite a GCA approach, the pilot-in-command was unable to locate the airbase due to low visibility, made a go around and followed a holding pattern north of the airfield. Later, a second attempt to land was aborted and the crew continued to the north. Due to fuel starvation, the captain ordered his crew to abandon the aircraft and to bail out. The heavy bomber continued to the south for 50 km and eventually crashed in an open field located southeast of Chippenham, Wiltshire. All 14 occupants were safe, except one who broke his leg on landing.

Crashed in unknown circumstances while on a night intruder mission. All three crew members lost without trace.

Crashed on landing. There were no casualties.

Shortly after takeoff from Hunter AFB, while climbing to a height of about 50 feet, the aircraft stalled and crashed in flames in a wooded area. The aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire and four of the seven crew members were killed.

While on a night bombing mission, the aircraft was shot down by the pilot of a Soviet AF MiG-15 fighter and crashed about 20 km south of Pyongyang. Five crew members were rescued and became POW while nine others were killed.
