The single engine aircraft was engaged in the region of Kaitantu to evacuate wounded people. En route, the pilot encountered technical problems and elected to make an emergency landing in Benabena, near Goroka. All occupants survived while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While performing a regional flight, the aircraft was shot by enemy fire. The pilot attempted to make an emergency landing in a jungle located near Tufi. All seven occupants survived but 47 days were needed to join the nearest city.

After touchdown, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway, overrun, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. While all six crew members were slightly injured, the aircraft was written off.

On a flight to Port Moresby, both engines failed. The crew attempted to make an emergency landing. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all eight occupants were uninjured.

While overflying the Solomon Sea, the aircraft was shot down by enemy fire and crashed few miles off Trobriand Islands. A crew member was killed while all seven other occupants were rescued.

The crew departed Wigram Airbase on a training exercise. While flying in poor weather conditions, the crew lost control of the airplane that crashed in the Pacific Ocean off the New Zealand coast. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended after few days as no trace of the airplane nor the crew was found.

The airplane departed Brisbane on a flight to Batchelor with an intermediate stop in Daly Waters, carrying 10 US soldiers and two crew members. As it failed to arrive in Batchelor, SAR operations were initiated. Four days later, the crew of a KNILM's DC-3 (PK-ALT) overflew the crash site and spotted the wreckage. As all occupants seemed to have survived, foods and water were dropped over the area. Two days later, a truck arrived on site and all 12 occupants were evacuated safely.

After touchdown at Brisbane-Archerfield Airport, the airplane went out of control and veered off runway. It collided with the tail of a parked DC-3, went through a fence, crossed a road and struck a second fence before coming to rest. There was no injuries.

After landing at night some 2 miles off Darwin, the seaplane named 'Corinthian' collided with unknown debris floating on water and sank rapidly. Two passengers were killed and 13 other occupants were rescued. All passengers were members of the 102nd Coastal Artillery Battalion.

Approaching Daly Water Airfield on a flight from Batchelor, both left engines failed. As the crew was unable to feather the propellers, the airplane lost height then stalled and crashed in an open field. Five crewmen were injured and a sixth was killed.
