The crew was completing a flight from Barksdale AFB, Louisiana. While descending to Portland, the visibility was reduced due to fog and the crew was unable to localize the airfield and the runway. On approach, the aircraft crashed in a huge ball of fire in the Redbank Trailer Park. Both pilots and 18 people on the ground (mothers and their children) were killed. Less than one month later, one of the survivor died from his injuries.

While cruising at an altitude of 3,900 feet, the four engine aircraft hit the east slope of Mt Fort located some 35 miles northwest of Millinocket, Maine. The passenger and all seven crew members were killed.

The four engine airplane was on a transatlantic transit flight from Kearney to RAF Grafton Underwood with an intermediate stop at Dow AFB, Maine. The left brake failed upon landing and the pilot ground looped the airplane to avoid a collision with a preceding aircraft. Doing so, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and collided with a mound of earth. All occupants escaped unhurt and the airplane was damaged beyond repair.
Crew:
1st Lt George B. Keck, pilot +9.

The crew was engaged in a maritime patrol flight over the Gulf of Maine to localize German U-Boats cruising off the US coast. The crew plan was to make five radio checks during the mission. The first four were received on schedule, but not the final one. The airplane failed to return to Quonset Point NAS and is believed to have crashed into the ocean. No trace of the aircraft nor the crew was ever found.

The twin engine airplane departed Moncton on a ferry flight to Montreal with a crew of four on board. While cruising over Maine, weather conditions deteriorated. Two other similar airplane diverted to Millinocket, Maine, while the pilot of JS173 decided to continue to Montreal. Nevertheless, the visibility was poor and the pilot descended into instrument conditions when, at an altitude of 2,690 feet, the airplane impacted hilly terrain in the Saddleback Mountain. Three crew members were killed and the sole survivor walked away for few hours before finding help. According to the survivor, the altimeter read 4,000 feet.
