Safety history

April 13, 1943Accident
Following an uneventful night anti-submarine mission off the Australian coast, the crew was returning to base after a 23 hours and 23 minutes flight. On approach to Cairns' harbor, the seaplane stalled and crashed into the sea. Six crew members were killed and two others were rescued. The aircraft was lost but later converted to ground training aid.
Consolidated PBY Catalina · 6 fatalities
It appears that the loss of control on approach was caused by a double engine failure due to a fuel exhaustion. Full accident record
