Consolidated PBY Catalina

The seaplane departed Anacostia NAS on a routine flight to Norfolk-Chambers Field NAS, carrying 11 crew members. Prior to departure, the pilot was informed about the presence of thunderstorm activity along the route. Despite it was possible to fly around, the pilot exercised poor judgment and entered the thunderstorm in vicinity north of Dahlgren. The airplane lost altitude and eventually crashed in a pasture located 6 km north of Dahlgren. All 11 occupants were killed.

The seaplane crashed into the sea off Santa Cruz Island and later sank. All crew members were rescued.

The seaplane was dispatched from Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) on a SAR mission over the North Pacific Ocean. The crew was returning to base and expected to arrive after dark. Due to bad weather, the pilot was directed to stop at Umnak. As he did not get this message, he passed Umnak shortly after dark and encountered heavy rain and fog before reaching Dutch Harbor. At 2340LT, he reported his position outside the harbor entrance and requested MO's. Thereafter he could not be raised although outposts reported hearing a plane until shortly after midnight. The airplane failed to arrive at destination and was lost without trace.
