Virginia

Shortly after takeoff from Richmond Airport, while climbing, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances in Highland Springs, about two miles north of the airfield. The crew fate remains unknown.

The aircraft was enroute from Cherry Point to Floyd Bennett Field in New York with 9 crew members on board. While flying over Virginia, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with heavy turbulences. The aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed following a structural failure in flight. All nine occupants were killed.

The crew was completing a local training flight out of Langley AFB. While cruising over the Bay of Chesapeake, the twin engine aircraft collided with a second USAF Douglas A-26 Invader registered 44-34111 and carrying another crew of three. Following the collision, both aircraft went into a dive and crashed into the bay, about ten miles east of Langley AFB. Both aircraft were lost and all six crew members were killed.

Cpt Robert MacCombs,

The crew was performing a test flight on this second XP2V-1 prototype. En route, an engine detached and fell off. Out of control, the aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a field, killing all four crew members.

Crash landed. No casualties.

The crew was performing a training sortie in NAS Norfolk. In flight, the seaplane collided with a Chance Vought F4U Corsair. Both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed near the airbase. One crew aboard the Catalina survived the crash while six other occupants and the pilot of the Corsair were killed.

While cruising at the altitude of 2,500 feet in bad weather conditions, the aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located near Galax. A passenger was seriously injured while 18 other occupants were killed.

The four engine aircraft left Atlanta Airport at 2027LT bound for Newark with an intermediate stop in Washington-National Airport. While flying on airway Green 6 at an altitude of 7,000 feet, the crew was informed by ATC that a landing in Washington was not possible due to poor weather conditions and that he should proceed direct to Newark. Two hours later, the crew received new instructions from ATC: as weather conditions improved in Washington, a landing was therefore possible. The crew modified his route and started the descent to the National Airport. Due to low visibility, the first attempt to land was abandoned and the crew completed a go around. On the second approach, while at a height of 200 feet, the aircraft hit the slope of a small hill, bounced, snatched two telephone poles and crashed in flames near Alexandria, about 6 miles southwest of the airport. Quickly on the scene, the rescue teams were able to evacuate all 26 occupants, some of them injured, while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

Crashed in foggy conditions near Springfield, killing all five crew members.
