Safety history

  • August 11, 1951AccidentHull loss

    During the takeoff roll, the pilot-in-command noticed a directional control problem, decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and started an emergency braking maneuver. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran, hit a concrete embankment and came to rest in a swampy area with its right engine in flames. All 45 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The crew was performing a special flight to Philadelphia on behalf of the USAF.
