United States Air Force - USAF (since 1947)

The aircraft struck the Shin Hook ridge located about 18 miles southeast of Huntsville, Alabama. Two passengers were rescued while nine other occupants were killed. The crew was performing a flight from Sewart AFB (Smyrna, Tennessee) to Brookley AFB in Mobile, Alabama.

Shortly after takeoff from Ashiya AFB, while climbing, the aircraft suffered an engine failure, stalled and crashed into the sea about 9 km north of the airfield. All occupants were rescued while the aircraft sank and was lost.

Shortly after takeoff from Tucson Airport, while climbing by night, the crew informed ATC about an engine failure and received the permission to return for an emergency landing. While completing a last turn at low height, the aircraft hit power cables and crashed near the runway threshold. Four occupants were killed while 11 others were injured.

The aircraft left Rome-Ciampino Airport in the afternoon on a flight to Manston, Kent, with an intermediate stop at Lyon-Bron Airport. While cruising at an altitude of 8,500 feet over the Italian Alps, the crew encountered poor weather conditions when the airplane hit the slope of a mountain at 1750LT. As it failed to arrive in Lyon, SAR operations were conducted but the wreckage was found a week later only in an isolated area located about 12 km west of Limone Piemonte, east of the Argentera Mountain Range. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all 21 occupants have been killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Daegu Airport, while climbing, the aircraft suffered an engine failure, stalled and crashed in a field located 2,7 km east of the airfield. At least one crew member was killed in the crash.

Crashed in unknown circumstances about five miles north of Nebraska City, killing all three crew members.

Weather conditions deteriorated enroute and the pilot lost his orientation. Due to fuel exhaustion, the pilot and the passenger eventually bailed out and abandoned the aircraft that dove into the ground and crashed in a field somewhere in Japan (exact place remains unknown). The airplane was destroyed while both occupants, pilot David Forbes and Henry H. Hansen, were unhurt.

Following a fuel exhaustion in flight, the crew decided to bail out and abandoned the aircraft that dove into the ground and crashed 19 km northwest of Recife. The airplane was destroyed while both pilots were uninjured.

The heavy bomber was engaged in a training mission out from Biggs AAF in El Paso, Texas. While cruising by night in light rain conditions, the airplane went out of control and entered a dive. Three crew members were able to bail out before the aircraft crashed in a field located about three miles southeast of Willows. They were found alive as well as a fourth crew member who was found seriously wounded in the wreckage. All 13 other occupants were killed.
