Safety history

July 20, 1939AccidentHull loss

Junkers JU.86 · 6 fatalities
Engine failure. The accident apparently resulted from a loss of flying speed during a one-engine operation, and as HB-IXA was making a left turn with its undercarriage extended. A recovery was also impossible due to the low distance separating the aircraft from the ground. Full accident record
