The crew was engaged in a night training mission on behalf of the 22nd regiment based in Chartres, in cooperation with the 401st DCA. With eleven other aircraft, the Goliath departed Chartres Airport at 2100LT bound for the west. About 10 minutes later, while flying southeast of Courville-sur-Eure, the pilot encountered an unexpected situation and attempted an emergency landing in an open field. The aircraft went out of control and crashed, bursting into flames. All four occupants were killed and the body of the captain was found some 150 metres away from the main wreckage. According to the French Army, he probably tried to jump with his parachute shortly before final impact.

The aircraft was performing a flight from Châteauroux to Chartres with four passengers and a crew of two on behalf of the 5th squadron of the 22nd regiment based in Chartres. The aircraft departed Châteauroux at 1000LT bound to Chartres. While overflying Bonneval, the right engine lost power. Rather than making an immediate safe landing in a field, the pilot decided to continue to the airport of Chartres located some 20 km north of his position. While descending to the airport, the right engine failed. Rather than making a straight-in approach, the pilot started a regulatory but not mandatory circuit south of the airport. Vertical to Saint-Chéron, the aircraft stalled and crashed on a small house where a family was eating. All six occupants on board the aircraft were uninjured. In the house, two children were unhurt while their parents were seriously injured. The father died from his injuries few hours later.

The crew was performing a night training flight on behalf of the 3rd Squadron of the 22nd regiment based in Chartres. While flying in the region of Bonneval, some 20 km south of Chartres, the aircraft caught fire. The pilot reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing. From a height of 50 meters, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a huge explosion. All five occupants were killed.

The aircraft departed Chartres at 2200LT on a training mission to Dijon on behalf of 22nd Bomber Regiment. Less than 10 minutes later, while climbing to a height of 500 metres, a fire erupted in the cockpit panel. Immediately, the pilot made a sharp turn and elected to return. The fire extinguished by itself within 30 seconds but smoke reduced the capability of the pilot to locate the runway. On final approach, the aircraft struck the roof of a hangar and crashed. Three crew were uninjured while the pilot Henri Levêque was injured (broken leg). The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was returning to Chartres Airfield following a night training mission. On final approach, the pilot reduced the engine thrust at minimum when the aircraft rolled to the left, causing the left wing to struck the ground. The aircraft crash landed and came to rest. The pilot was injured and the mechanic was killed.
