Moscow

The aircraft left Chita-Cheryomushki Airport at 1210LT, carrying a delegation of eight Soviet officers who were returning to Moscow following an inspection of the Far East Air Force Unit. Some 52 minutes into the flight, the crew encountered poor weather conditions when the aircraft struck the slope of a mountain located in the region of Khilok. As the airplane failed to arrive at destination, SAR operations were conducted but eventually suspended on November 11, 1944 as no trace of the airplane nor the occupants was found. The wreckage was located in September 1945. All eight occupants were killed, among them General Vladimir Ivanovitch Artamonov.

The airplane departed Voronezh Airport on a flight to Moscow, second and last leg of a flight from Rostov. Immediately after takeoff, the left engine failed. The pilot initiated a turn top the left in an attempt to land in an open field. He was unable to raise the landing gear and as he was facing two power lines, he attempted to land in a field located a little further. Fearing a collision with the power line, the copilot took over the controls when the airplane stalled and crashed from a height of 10 metres in a field located 6 km from the airport. All 19 passengers and six crew members escaped uninjured while the airplane was destroyed.

The airplane departed Moscow on a flight to Leningrad with an intermediate stop in Khvoynaya, carrying 17 passengers, five crew members and 687 kilos of cargo. One hour and five minutes into the flight, the right engine failed. The airplane continued for about two km then crashed in a wooded area located 30 km southeast of Maksatikha, near the hamlet or Burachikha. All 22 occupants escaped with minor injuries while the airplane was destroyed.

The airplane departed Krasnodar on a flight to Moscow, carrying eight passengers and six crew members. After 5 hours and 30 minutes into the flight, the oil pressure in the right engine started to decrease and the engine vibrated. The pilot decided to continue to Moscow on one engine but 10 minutes later, the temperature of the cylinder head reached 230-240°. In such conditions, the crew diverted to the small airfield of Yegoryevsk that offers a runway of 600-650 metres long. An approach with a go around was planed. On descent, both engines were running smoothly and as the approach seems to be missed, the crew initiated a go around procedure but the right engine failed to respond and remained at low rpm. The airplane flew over the runway on its total length without landing then the base of the tail hit the roof of a building, causing the airplane to stall and to crash. All 14 occupants escaped with minor injuries and the airplane was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed in unknown circumstances in Dmitrovskoye, in the north suburb of Moscow. All six occupants were killed.

En route from Moscow to Krasnodar, after passing over the hilly area of Kamenka, the crew failed to realize his altitude was insufficient. As the attention of the crew was focused on a faulty thermometer, he led the airplane descending until both propellers impacted the ground, causing the airplane to crash land in a pasture, bursting into flames. There were no casualties but the airplane was destroyed by fire.

The airplane departed Moscow on a cargo flight to Tbilisi with an intermediate stop in Saratov, carrying three crew members and a load of 545 kilos of spare parts destined to the airplanes of the 8th Civil Fleet based in Tbilisi. En route, weather conditions deteriorated and the visibility was poor due to sudden fog. At a very low height (5-10 metres), the pilot decided to return and initiated a left turn without gaining altitude, causing the airplane to struck the ground and to crash in a 70 cm snow covered field. All three crew members were seriously injured. The navigator died in the evening from injuries sustained.

The airplane departed Moscow on a special flight to Zhitkur (130 km east northeast of Stalingrad) with intermediate stops in Ryazan, Saratov and Kamichyne. On board were two crew members and one passenger who was in charge of a precious load owned by the Soviet Government. Approaching Ryazan, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with fog and icing. The pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed in a snow covered area located near the Dyagilevo Station. The wreckage was found on 4 January 1943. The airplane was destroyed and all three occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, the visibility was about 50 metres in fog.
