United States Air Force - USAF (since 1947)

Crashed on approach to McDill AFB, killing all five crew members.

Crashed on takeoff. No casualties.

The airplane was engaged in a bombing and gunnery practice mission, carrying 15 crew members, among them five instructors. In the evening, the crew returned to Kelly AFB to perform some landings. On final approach, some other B-29 cut in front of the aircraft so the pilot had to make sudden turns when the engine n°3 caught fire. Some of the crew members opened a rear door and abandoned the aircraft that crashed in flames shortly later. Four crew members were killed while 11 others were injured, some of them seriously.

Few minutes after takeoff from Kadena Airbase, bound for Korea, an explosion occurred on the engine number three. The pilot-in-command elected to return to his base when the right wing was blown off. Out of control, the aircraft crashed into the sea about 65 km north of Kadena and 15 km west of Izenajima Island. Three crew members were rescued while 12 others were killed.
