Roboré

On final approach to Roboré Airfield, the twin engine aircraft became unstable and started to roll left and right. The pilot continued the approach when the aircraft landed left main gear first. Upon impact, the left main gear collapsed and the aircraft veered off runway and came to rest. All eight occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a flight from Santa Cruz to Corumbá, Brazil, with intermediate stops in San Ignacio de Velasco, Roboré and Puerto Suárez with several officials on board. The stop at San Ignacio de Velasco was longer than scheduled and the aircraft departed late from Roboré to Puerto Suárez. En route, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and lost his bearings. The captain decided to divert to the Rincón del Tigre Airfield but while descending in low visibility, the three engine aircraft named 'Juan del Valle' impacted the slope of a mountain slope and crashed. The wreckage was found in January 1942 in an isolated area. All 17 occupants were killed.
