Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress

The crew was performing a demo flight in the vicinity of the Clearview Airfield. In flight, the pilot encountered unknown technical problems and attempted to make an emergency belly landing. On touchdown in a pasture, the aircraft skidded for several yards before coming to rest. While all 22 occupants were uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft left Port Moresby-7 Mile Airfield at 1010LT on a reconnaissance mission. Four hours later, the aircraft was attacked by several Japanese Mitsubishi Zero fighters. A fuel tank near the engine number two was hit and four crew members were able to bail out before the aircraft went into a spin and crashed on the slopes of the Hong Kong mountain overlooking the Waterfall Bay, in the region of Matong village. All six crew who remained aboard were killed while all four others were later captured by Japanese soldiers. Three of them were executed and only one (S/Sgt Cascio) survived the war.

During take off run from Port Moresby-7 Mile Airfield, a tyre and a rim came off from a main gear. The aircraft went out of control, veered off runway, rolled for 200 yards before coming to rest in flames and exploded. All 11 crew members were killed. Explosions were caused by three 500 lbs bombs stored in the cargo bay. A dead wallaby was later found on the runway but it was not proven if this was the cause of the accident or not. The aircraft was christened 'Blues in the Nite'.

The plane departed Marrakech-Menara Airport on a ferry flight to RAF St Eval. Arriving over the coast of Ireland, a low cloud base required assistance from St Eval to navigate to the airfield. With unreliable compass systems, the plane let down through the cloud but struck a mountain before reaching clear air. Spotting ground, the pilots pulled back on the control column and the tail struck tearing off the left horizontal stabilizer. Without elevator control, the plane struck the ground again approximately a quarter mile beyond, slid to a stop and broke its back. The wreckage was found on Mt Foel Cwmcerwyn. A crew was killed and eight others escaped unhurt.
