He was performing touch-and-go landings, and on one touchdown the fuselage buckled. The airplane broke apart and cart-wheeled, killing Mantz and seriously injuring stuntman Bobby Rose on board. Although principal photography was completed on August 13, 1965, in order to complete filming, the North American O-47A was modified and used as a flying ‘Phoenix’ stand-in. With the canopy removed, a set of skids attached to the main landing gear as well as a ventral fin added to the tail, it sufficed as more-or-less a visual lookalike. Filming using the O-47A was completed in October/November 1965. It appears in the last flying scenes, painted to look like the earlier Phoenix P-1. Displayed at Ontario; later at Chino, CA. Registered 22Feb74 to the Planes of Fame, Chino, CA. Crash landed and badly damaged by fire at Porterville, CA 11Jun82. During arrival for landing, the pilot was leading a flight of five dissimilar aircraft. After pitching out in a 360 degree, overhead approach, the pilot flew a fairly tight pattern. On base, when he would normally have felt the gear lock in place, his attention was diverted as another aircraft passed beneath his nose. The landing gear indicator was an early model that was difficult to read. Also, it was located at the bottom of a panel where it was hard to see. The pilot stated that he checked the position of the gear handle several times as well as the hydraulic pressure. As he flared for landing, he started to go-around when the aircraft settled lower than normal. The propeller hit the surface as he settled with the gear retracted. He closed the throttle and mixture and slid to a stop. The fuel sump drain for the main tank was located at the lowest part of the fuselage. While sliding to a stop, the drain ground off and a fire started. No fire equipment was readily available. Restoration at Chino, CA 2000 using parts from 38-295.

During a test flight at twilight, the pilot was flying in a low attack formation about 150 feet above the ground. The radio antenna was snapped off and the rudder nearly torn off after striking a high tension wire strung across an artificial lake. The jammed rudder caused the airplane to persist in circling to the left. The pilot climbed for altitude and ordered his two passengers to bail out. The pilot remained and after several widening circles managed to line up with Muskogee Auxiliary Field, Brownwood, TX and made a safe landing. 344th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron, Tyndall Field, Panama City, FL.

To Class 26 November 1941 492 crashed at Aurora, NY, Jun 21, 1940 before delivery to USAAC. On its final test flight from the Buffalo factory prior to delivery to the Air Corps when the pilot and co-pilot encountered problems recovering from a deliberate spin attempt which was part of the test flight profile. Despite every effort to emerge from the spin, the aircraft would not respond, and it appeared that the rudder had locked. The Co-pilot shut down the engines and waited for the propellers to come to a stop before bailing out; because of the tandem seating, it was necessary for the copilot to exit the aircraft first, and in doing so he struck the empennage, breaking his legs — and in the process, freeing the rudder. The pilot decided to stay with the aircraft and attempt an emergency landing. By this time, the aircraft had lost sufficient altitude that there was not time to restart the engines. The pilot put the Airacuda down hard in a farmer's field, and walked away unhurt; the Airacuda was so badly damaged it had to be scrapped. 493 WFU Jan 1942.

Crashed at Sioux City, Iowa 31Jan44 [3KIS]. The plane was on a navigation flight from Rosecrans to the Sioux City Army Air Field. The plane landed safely at Sioux City. Later the plane took off from the airfield and apparently suffered engine failure on the ? 2 engine which was reported to also be on fire. The plane attempted to return to the airfield; it just cleared the tops of a grove of cottonwood trees, traveled a little further, and then exploded upon striking the ground. WFU Feb 1944 38-502 Douglas C-41 MSN 2053. DC-2-253 used as staff transport for chief of staff of USAAC. There is some controversy as to whether this plane is a DC-2 or a DC-3. Francillon reports that the plane had a DC-2 fuselage and wings, but with DC-3 center section, undercarriage, and tail unit. But we know she was converted on the production line. To RFC in 1945 as surplus. To Southern Airways as NC15473. Then to CAA as N12, then to FAA as N43. Registration N9416A reserved in 1978, but not taken up. To Southeast Missouri State University as N54595. Eventually to Otis Spunkmeyer Air and refurbished and reregistered as NC41HQ. Flown to Europe for 50th anniversary of D-Day. N41HQ is still flying and people who have seen it report that it is definitely a DC-3 and not a DC-2. Landings database gives MSN of 1830-94, which doesn't make sense. N41HQ is registered as a Model DC-3A 1830-94 with MSN 2053. Arthur Pearcy reports that the plane was converted on the production line as a DC-3A-253. The single C-41, the first U.S. military DC-3, has been incorrectly identified as a modified C-39 ever since it was built and it still appears as such in some current publications. Because of this error, photos of it have consistently been identified as the C-41A, an acknowledged DC-3, and its absence from some official DC-3 lists (even at Douglas) has resulted in an error in the total DC-3 count. The confusion with the C-39 results from the fact that the C-41 was ordered as one article on the 37-airplane C-39 contract. The description in the Army's Model Designation Book did not say that the C-41 was a C-39 converted from cargo to passenger work; it said that it was similar to such a C-39. While the Army serial, 38-502, gives the impression that it was the fourth C-39, the C-41 was actually an off-the-shelf DC-3A with a C/N four units ahead of the first C-39. In keeping with the Douglas practice of using a different dash number for each DC-2/DC-3 variant, it was identified in the factory as a DC-3A-253.] 38-503 Douglas C-42 MSN 2060.

Six Fairchild K-17 cameras were fitted in the bombardier/navigator compartment in the nose. A magazine rack to hold twenty-four type A-5A film magazines was built into the instrument panel bulkhead and another to hold twelve more was added just aft of bulkhead 8. Long range fuel tanks were added in the bomb bay, two more of the same tanks were installed in the radio operator's compartment. Two more fuel tanks were installed just aft of the radio operator's compartment and the ‘bathtub’ turret beneath them was removed. A fuel tank was added behind the co-pilot’s seat and most likely the pilot's. The de-icing tank was moved from under the radio operator's compartment floor to the aft bomb bay bulkhead. The drift sight was moved to the right of the bomb sight. The navigator manned the bombardier's seat. The ‘football’ part of the Norden bomb sight was removed but the rest of the C-1 autopilot system was retained. About two feet of bombardier's floor was removed to accommodate the extra cameras. A camera operator sat in a folding chair attached to the rails for the rear row of cameras. Headquarters Squadron, 1st Mapping Group, Bolling Field, Washington, DC 17Feb42.

The flight began in Gander, headed to the Johnsonville Naval Air Development Center in a suburb of Philadelphia to be retrofitted with the latest armament. The plane crashed in a wooded area behind what is now School Hill Lane in North Reading on an unusually foggy day that made visibility difficult for the pilots. The aircraft took out at least one house chimney on the way down, crashing deep in the woods parallel to where the Middle School stands now. Miraculously, no one on the ground was injured or killed. There were also witness accounts that the airmen were firing their machine guns prior to the crash presumably as a means to warn civilians on the ground of the impending crash. There is also a theory that the pilots may have been looking for a small grass airstrip near Route 28 that was then known as the North Reading airport. The military crash report stated that a phenomenon called ‘flutter’ may have caused one of the airplane’s wings to fall off on its descent. Further supporting this theory was the fact that an undamaged wing was found a significant distance away from the wreckage.

It was sent to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation at McKeller, TN on November 3, 1944. In 1945 it was purchased by an unknown aircraft dealer, registered NC62477, and in January 1946 ferried to Jackson, TN. It was then purchased by a man in Oklahoma and sold to Great Plains Airlines of Tulsa in March 1946, who installed a cargo door and fitted the plane for freight hauling. In September 1948 it was sold to Aero Exploration of Tulsa, who used it for oil exploration survey work with a magnetometer. In May 1951 it was sold to Leo J. Demers of Salem, OR, who converted it for agricultural spraying. In 1956 the plane was bought by the Stevenson Company of Spenard, AK, and was modified for cargo work on rough gravel strips, and he skinned over the bomb-bay doors. Roger Stedman of Miami, FL, was the next owner in October 1958. He sold it to Cuban revolutionaries who were caught using it for gun-running from Florida, so it was impounded in Miami and given back to Mr. Stedman. He sold it in January 1961 to F. Daniel Bennett, who sold it to the NMUSAF in 1961 (although there is a discrepancy on the ‘net which says it was 1960 to the Museum after the impoundment, and that last owner didn’t exist). The plane was moved to the new museum facility in October 1970. In 1980 the plane was flown by C-5A to Cannon AFB for display there, and then in August 1988 it took another C-5A ride to Lowry AFB, CO for its current resting place, the Wings Over the Rockies Museum, where it has been fully restored, painted as 39-522 . 26 missing in bad weather out of McClelland Field, CA Feb 3, 1942.

While on a mission off the coast of Labrador Canada, the Havoc ran out of fuel and crash landed off the Little Mecatina River, 85 miles from Goose Bay, Labrador 10Oct42; the crew was rescued 3 days later. Until 2008, the aircraft sat undisturbed in a remote area accessible only by helicopter. After a 5 year recovery process, the Havoc was loaded on trucks and headed for GossHawk Unlimited in Casa Grande, AZ, arriving on October 10, 2012, 70 years to the day that the plane crashed. The aircraft is awaiting a new owner who would like the A-20 Havoc to be restored. The Douglas BD article by Air-Britain states that the first US Navy Douglas BD was purchased new from Douglas, taking the first USAAC aircraft, later replaced by another aircraft.
