USAF/USAAF INFORMATION BROWSE PILOTS
AND AIR CREW MEMBERS BROWSE
AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS WORLDWIDE There were thousands of aircraft accidents in early US Air Force history. The development of new aircraft, training of new pilots, and all of the factors still causing accidents today, resulted in the loss of thousands of personnel and planes. The reports of these accidents were filed with the Air Force Office
of Flying Safety under it's various names. Thousands of pages of documents
eventually accumulated and were later converted to microfilm.
DATA PAGE AND SUMMARY PAGE These two pages contain the most details. The Data Page contains all the information such as airplane, pilot, base, damage, and mission. The Summary Page usually contains a description of the accident and the results of the investigation. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Most of the reports contain supporting documentation
that include: aircraft maintenance forms, pilot's statement, witnesses
statements, weather reports, airplane disposition, military orders
for personnel, and messages related to the accidents. Some of the reports contain maps. They include maps of wreckage, crash locations, flight paths, airfields, and weather patterns. Due to the size, some are broken into several frames.
