Crashed on landing for unknown reasons. There were no casualties.

The crew left Travis AFB on a special mission consisting of an aerial attack of the city of Portland. Two pilots on board a Lockheed F-94 Starfire registered 49-2574 left McChord AFB to assist the bomber in this mission. In flight, while engaged in a gunnery mission, both aircraft collided. It is believed that during one of the mock passes at the bomber, the fighter struck the outer wing of the B-29. While the crew of the Starfire was able to complete an emergency landing at Aurora Airport, the heavy bomber went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a field. All 11 crew members were killed.

En route to Mitchel AFB in Long Island, the crew was forced to divert to LaGuardia Airport due to poor weather conditions. A landing in LaGuardia was also impossible due to foggy conditions so the captain decided to divert to the Philadelphia-Northeast Airfield. During a night approach, the airplane crashed in a swampy area located one mile short of runway. While all three passengers were rescued, all three crew members were killed.

On final approach to Paris-Orly Airport, the aircraft was too low and hit a telephone pole, passed just over the roofs of several houses and crashed in flames one km short of runway. A crew member was rescued while three others were killed.

The heavy bomber left Kadena AFB on a bombing mission over North Korea. En route, the crew encountered severe icing conditions and the aircraft went of control and crashed in a mountainous area located about 34 km southwest of Gangneung. A crew member was rescued while 11 other were killed.
