ACCIDENT LISTING

USAAF/USAF AIRCRAFT 1918-1955

This list represents aircraft accidents involving aircraft assigned to this station or the vicinity before a permanent airport was built. We have worked to index as many as possible, but there are still many more that are missing, incomplete or erroneous. We will continue to add additional records as time permits. This page contains both minor and major aircraft accidents that occured both on and off of flying fields.
