Safety history

  • September 19, 1947AccidentHull loss

    Enroute to Lima, it is believed that an engine caught fire. Most probably, the crew decided to divert to the Marcona Naval Station but the aircraft went out of control and crashed in a desert area located near San Juan de Marcona. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and all 14 occupants were killed.
