Fokker F7

While approaching the mountains near Beaumont, California, the pilot Delbert Everett encountered poor weather conditions and low visibility due to foggy conditions. Too low, the three engine aircraft impacted a mountain slope and was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. All four occupants were killed.

While taxiing on rough ground at Cincinnati Airport, the aircraft broke in two and came to rest. All three occupants evacuated safely.

The three engine airplane departed Havana on a trip to Key West, carrying two passengers and a crew of three. The airplane has been refuelled prior to departure from Havana, giving an endurance of about three hours, which was more than enough for the 100 miles distance between both airports. About 20 minutes into the flight, while cruising at an altitude of 3,400 feet, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with a visibility below two miles. In such conditions, the pilot lost his orientation and passed over Key West before continuing to the north. After three hours of flight, as the fuel reserve was low, the pilot reduced his altitude to 100 feet and spotted the tanker named 'S. S. Ligonier' cruising in the Gulf of Mexico. After all three engines stopped due to fuel exhaustion, he ditched the airplane around 1915LT in rough sea. All five occupants, slightly injured, were quickly rescued by the crew of the tanker. Some mail bags were salvaged before the aircraft named 'General Machado' sank and was lost.

The crew was engaged in a flight from Poland to Iraq on behalf of the Polish Ministry of Communications. On final approach to Baghdad, the aircraft hit a sand dune, overturned and came to rest upside down. A crew member was killed while both others were injured.

The crew was performing a sightseeing flight over the area of Newark. The airplane departed Hadley for a tour with a crew of two and 10 passengers on board. En route, the pilot lost control of the aircraft that crashed in an apple orchard. Five passengers and both pilots were killed while five other occupants were seriously injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

Named 'Old Glory', the aircraft was owned by William Randolph Hearst who financed this nonstop transatlantic flight from Old Orchad Beach (Maine) to Rome, Italy. The aircraft departed Old Orchad Beach at 0023LT. At 0403LT, while cruising 1,000 km east of the Canadian coast, the crew sent a mayday message then the aircraft crashed in the sea two minutes later. The crew of the ship named 'Kyle' arrived on scene but did not find any trace or bodies. Five days later, on 12SEP1927, fuel tank, wing (a 34 feet long section) and fuselage debris were found floating on water. No trace of the occupants was ever found.

The Princess Anne Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg was engaged in a transatlantic flight from Upavon to Ottawa, Canada, and provided this aircraft named 'Saint Raphael' that was piloted by an Imperial Airways crew. The airplane departed Upavon Airport, Wiltshire, at 0732LT and continued its route to the west. It was spotted over Ireland and later by the crew of a tanker cruising in the North Atlantic ocean. As the single engine aircraft never arrived in Ottawa, SAR operations were initiated but no trace of the aircraft nor its occupants was ever found. It is believed that the aircraft crashed in the ocean off Newfoundland.

While overflying Pas-de-Calais below the cloud layer, the pilot encountered technical problems and attempted to make an emergency landing in a prairie. On final, he cut the engine when the aircraft impacted the roof of a metallic shed and crashed into trees. While all eight occupants were uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The Orteig prize was won by Charles Lindbergh last 22nd of May so the crew was preparing the aircraft for the first postal and nonstop transatlantic flight between the United States and Paris. The aircraft named 'America' departed Roosevelt Field on 29JUN1927 with a crew of four on board. The flight was hard with many difficulties en route. Arriving over Paris from the north, the crew contacted ground services at Le Bourget Airport at 0110LT to obtain assistance as he was unable to localize the airport due to foggy conditions. After few minutes, the crew decided to return to the north and saw some lights on the ground and the sea as well. At this time, the crew realized he was not over Paris but Normandy. Due to poor visibility (night and fog) and fuel shortage, the crew understood it was not possible to continue to Paris anymore so he attempted to make an emergency landing. Aircraft eventually came to rest in the sea some 300 metres offshore, near Ver-sur-Mer. When it contacted water, the aircraft lost its undercarriage and nosed down before coming to rest. All four occupants evacuated the cabin themselves and swam to the beach. While all four occupants were slightly injured, the aircraft was recovered few hours later but was destroyed. The mail was later recovered as well.
