Monrovia

After takeoff from Khartoum-Haj Yusuf Airport, while in initial climb, the right engine failed. The crew declared an emergency and was cleared to return for an emergency landing. While completing a turn, the airplane lost height and crashed in a district located about 4 km southeast of the airport. The aircraft and several buildings were destroyed. The flight engineer was seriously injured while eight other occupants and nine people on ground were killed. Eight other people on the ground were injured as well.

While approaching Greenville on a flight from Monrovia, the twin engine airplane nosed down then crashed into the sea few km offshore. All six occupants were killed.

The pilot was completing a flight from the US to Zaïre with intermediate stops in Prestwick, Monrovia and Douala, and was supposed to deliver the airplane to Air Congo. While approaching Douala Airport, seven minutes before the ETA, the twin engine aircraft struck the slope of Mt Cameroon located 64 km west of the airport. As the airplane failed to arrive at Douala Airport, SAR operations were conducted but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the airplane was found. The wreckage was found two years later in an isolated area. The pilot Lord Malcolm A. Douglas-Hume was accompanied with his son and wife. All three were killed in the accident.

Crashed shortly after takeoff from Monrovia Airport for unknown reason. The twin engine aircraft built in 1935 was enroute to Bassa, carrying three crew and various goods for the market. On board was one French citizen, one Swiss and one Guinean.

The aircraft was performing a flight from Accra to Monrovia with members of the USAF female corps on board, on behalf of the Air Transport Command. While flying along the shore, the crew sent a brief mayday message when the aircraft dove into the sea and crashed nose down by 45° angle. All 21 occupants were killed.
