The crew was performing a local training flight at Davis-Monthan AFB. Due to an engine fire, the pilot was forced to attempt an emergency landing and the airplane crash landed 6 km northwest of the airbase. All six crew members were rescued.

The crew departed Seymour Airfield on a night training flight, practicing landings with the newly installed airfield lighting system. During the takeoff procedure, the airplane collided with the vertical stabilizer and rudder of a parked B-24 registered 41-23798. The crew continued to climb to an altitude of 5,000 feet, burned fuel then turned back to the airbase. A first attempt to land was aborted and the crew initiated a go around. During a second attempt to land, the airplane rolled to the left and crashed about 600 metres short of runway, bursting into flames. Four crew members were killed and one was injured. A 20 mph crosswind was present at the time of the accident.

The airplane departed Langley AFB (Hampton) on an anti-submarine patrol flight over the Atlantic Ocean. At 2052 Eastern War Time, about 338 km east of Virginia Beach, Virginia, SOS signals ceased and a merchant ship and two airplanes in the vicinity were notified. A U.S. Navy destroyer was dispatched to assist in the search. No verbal communication was ever received from the distressed bomber. Around 0500 EWT the following morning, eight aircraft from the 22nd Anti-Submarine Squadron were launched from Langley Field to search for the missing Liberator. Despite extensive search, no trace of the airplane nor the crew was ever found. Lost without trace.
