Accidents and incidents involving the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress

1782:, Iowa, was part of a formation of bombers on a camera-gunnery mission, en route to Bruning AAF, which was flying in several elements. The fighter struck the wing man of the second element of the low formation. Only four crew of ten aboard the B-17 managed to bail out. Killed were 2d Lts. William F. Washburn, and Bernard I. Hall, pilot and co-pilot, F/O George A. Budovsky, Cpl. John E. Tuchols, and Pvt. Henry C. Sedberry. Surviving were Cpls. LeNoir A. Greer (minor injuries), and Walter A. Divan (major injuries), Pvt. Albert L. Mikels (minor injuries), and Pfc. Reuben L. Larson (minor injuries). "It is the opinion of the Aircraft Accident Investigating Committee that responsibility for the accident is 100% pilot error on the part of the pilot of the P-47, in that poor judgement and poor technique was used in 'breaking-off'." A Nebraska historical marker for the accident was erected in 2010 by the Milligan Memorial Committee for the World War II Fatal Air Crashes near 2965:(paragraph 14): In the aviation industry, there was a whole development of the process called "the checklist." And some people date this back to 1935 when a very complex B-17 Fortress was being tested with the head of the military aviation division. And it exploded, and the pilot unfortunately died. And when they analyzed what happened, they realized that the high-tech airplane was so complex that a human being could not keep track of everything. And that even if he was the smartest, most experienced pilot, it was just too much and you were bound to have an error. And so they developed the idea of making a checklist to make sure that every single thing you have to check is done. 2793: 1750:

Sparmann, pilot, 2nd Lt. Bob M. Biggers Jr., 2nd Lt. John F. Hanzes, 2nd Lt. Arthur M. Lippman, bombardier, Sgt. Samuel J. Lamazzo, and Cpl. Frederick "Fritz" J. Breuning. Cpl. Harry F. Mroch of Detroit, Cpl. Sidney Nylaan of Grand Rapids, and Cpl. George D. Honey of Sonoma parachuted to safety and were hospitalized in Pierre. Witnesses said the bomber was burning before it crashed and that wreckage was strewn over an area of approximately four city blocks. Bodies of the six men who died in the crash were thrown clear of the plane. A board of qualified officers were appointed to investigate the crash.

loss was keenly felt by all." "On October 1st, the 612th Squadron lost a Flying Fortress with nine men aboard in an accident over the Big Sandy bombing range. The Fortress was piloted by 2nd Lt. John McIlwain. The plane was flying in formation as they approached the bombing range when observers in other Fortresses saw it go out of control and spin in. All the crew were killed." Crew: 2nd Lt. John W. McIlwain, 2nd Lt. William D. Ford, 2nd Lt. George W. Heaps, S/Sgt. John Cirone, S/Sgt. Edwin B. Young, Sgt. Carl A. Hilton, Sgt. George W Grimes, Sgt. Edward F. Tessier, Cpl. Ambrose E. Mesa

1661:, during a thunderstorm, killing all ten crew: Sgt. James A. Benson, Sgt. Gerald V. Biddle, 2nd Lt. John T. Cast, 2nd Lt. John W. Drake, 2nd Lt. William Hudgens, Cpl. John H. Jones, Staff Sgt. Wayne D. McGavran, Sgt. Cecil L. Murphy, 2nd Lt. Robert S. Talley, and Sgt. Clarence M. Waln. Locals saw the plane circling before it struck terrain 500 feet below the summit. It apparently descended below the clouds, struck treetops, and cartwheeled across the mountainside. Two days later, after a search by more than 100 spotters from the 1778:, terminating his attack from about 250 to 300 yards away from the bomber, but "mushed" into the B-17 while breaking away, hitting the port wing near the number one (port outer) engine. "Both planes burst into flames immediately, the B-17 exploding, disintegrating into several pieces, and crashing to the ground. The P-47 hit the ground in a tight spiral, exploding when it hit the ground." The collision occurred ~5 miles NE of Bruning AAF. The fighter pilot was KWF. The B-17, of the 224th AAF Base Unit, out of 1377:, Nevada, and twelve of thirteen aboard bail out. One is killed when his parachute fails to open in time, and one aboard the bomber dies in the crash 67 miles NNE of Las Vegas AAF. Other planes circled the spot where the plane went down and radioed the base news of the crash. "Eleven of their number were brought to the airfield hospital last night (5 January), suffering from minor injuries and exposure after having spent the intervening time in heavy snow on a high mountain plateau." 2736: 1706: 1256:, England. Shortly after taking off in bad weather, the aircraft flew into a downdraft which sent it into a dive. Most of the crew bailed out, but the pilot, 2nd Lt. Clyde "Sparky" Cosper, stayed with the aircraft and avoided crashing into rooftops before impacting a field. The bomb load detonated on impact, destroying the aircraft and killing Cosper. A plaque dedicated to Cosper was erected outside the Princes Risborough Library. 1005:

flying below the overcast. The overcast proved to reach almost to the level of the sea. The plane was flying at about 50–150 feet above the waves. Deciding that the risk was too great the crew began to climb back up into the overcast. Unfortunately, the plane crashed into the side of Cape Lookout at about 900 feet in elevation. The Aviation Archeological Investigation & Research website lists the crash date as 2 August.

972:, on its ninth test flight when the number three (starboard inner) engine caught fire. Attempts to extinguish it were unsuccessful, and as the fire spread to the wing, the pilots bailed out after pointing the aircraft to an uninhabited area. Lockheed test pilot George MacDonald was killed when his parachute did not deploy, and Lockheed test pilot Bud Martin was seriously injured when his parachute did not deploy properly. 64: 2656:. Landing too far down the runway, the plane rolled off the end of runway, crashed through a fence and power pole, and came to rest down a 100-foot (30 m) ravine. Various damage including landing gear, wings, and fuselage. There were no fatalities, however three of the twelve people on board were injured. Note: this plane was later destroyed in an accident on 2 October 2019. 518:, and he ran outside to see a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber on a descent to death. He will never forget, he says, the sight of an airman standing in an open hatchway as the plane started to clip the tops of pine trees into a wooded area, too low for a parachute to work. The engines were spitting flames. The plane cut a path 200 feet long and 40 feet wide..." B-17B, 275:, reports that the bomber entered a cumulo-nimbus cloud at 33,000 feet (10,000 m), became heavily iced-up with hailstones entering through open gunports, after which control was lost, the port wing detached, and the fuselage broke in two at 25,000 feet (7,600 m). Survivor, who was in the aft fuselage, was able to bail out at 12,000 feet (3,700 m). 6551: 1145:, Washington, on a routine local flight with three aboard, piloted by Robert P. Ferguson, clips the tops of trees for several blocks, crashes into scrub pines two miles S of Geiger Field and burns. Only three were on the bomber, said a report by Lt. R. E. Reed, public relations officer at the field. Names were withheld pending notification of next of kin. 1809:. All ten crew members survive the crash with minor injuries and are able to escape the partial burning plane but have to stay two days in the wreckage due to a storm before they can hike down the glacier. Six of the crew manage to reach a farm after a 13 hour walk, while four have to spend a night in the open, as they were unable to cross the river of 538:, Massachusetts; scrapped at North Reading, 2 October 1942. "The Veterans’ Memorial on the town common commemorates the ten crew members who lost their lives in this crash.
