The airplane departed Cleveland on a scheduled service to Newark with an intermediate stop in Albany, carrying nine passengers and three crew members. While descending to Newark at night, the crew encountered marginal weather conditions and poor visibility due to low clouds and ground fog. Unable to locate the airport, the crew decided to fly to the north and to divert to Danbury-Tucker Field Airport. While approaching Danbury, CT, weather conditions were also marginal and the crew was unable to establish a contact with the people on duty at the airport. At that time, the airport was not illuminated. The crew followed several circuits over the area and attempted a blind landing but fuel reserves were low. On final approach, the aircraft impacted trees and crashed in a wooded area located in Bethel, some 5 km short of runway. All 12 occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Aviators Jim Mollison and Amy Johnson were engaged in a non stop transatlantic flight from Pendine Sands, Wales, to New York. The couple departed Wales the day prior to the accident and following an uneventful crossing flight, they were passing over Connecticut when they were forced to attempt an emergency landing due to fuel exhaustion. The airplane landed in an open field located in Bridgeport, lost its undercarriage and slid for few metres before coming to rest. Both occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft named 'Seafarer' was damaged beyond repair. It was reported that at the time of the accident, the crew completed a distance of 3,300 miles in 39 hours at an average speed of 85 mph. Probably due to unfavorable wind conditions, the aircraft deviated from the prescribed track too far to the north and was unable to reach New York due to fuel shortage, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing.

The single engine airplane departed New Haven-Tweed Airport with four people on board, three passengers and one pilot. Climbing to the north, the airplane went out of control and crashed on the edge of a pasture located in North Haven, just north of Clintonville Road. A passenger was seriously injured and three other occupants were killed.
