 bigpigeon.us webpage WWII Roster > Roster Addenda > The Air Dead, © 2023 by Robert A. Christiansen, updated by RAC 30 Sep 2023.
As of 30 Sep 2023, 161 
roster members are known to have died in aircraft during WWII.
  • About nine of the dead were passengers, a few were ground crew, the remainder being flight crew members.
  • Nearly half the deaths occurred among Army Air Force B-17 and B-24 heavy bomber crews.
  • I believe over half occurred from accidents - during training, during deployment, and during missions - rather than from enemy action. There were a surprising number of mid-air collisions.
  • The following list is ordered by number of roster fatalities per aircraft.
  • Aviation personnel whose death was not connected to an aircraft are excluded.
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_of_the_United_States_during_World_War_II links to information for each of the plane categories listed below.
  • ​Big Pigeon's WWII US > WWII in the Air webpage contains supplemental information on US WWII aircraft.
