The R6D-1 – the U.S. Navy version of the United States Air Force C-118 Liftmaster and the civilian Douglas DC-6B airliner – was carrying a crew of nine and 50 passengers on a scheduled Military Air Transport Service flight from RAF Lakenheath, England, to Lajes Field in the Azores on 10 October 1956[1] when it disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean about 590 km (370 miles) southwest of Land's End, England, at approximately 22:10.[2][3] All of the passengers were personnel of the U.S. Air ForceШаблон:'s 307th Bombardment Wing stationed at Lincoln Air Force Base, Nebraska, returning to the United States from 90 days of temporary duty in England.[4] The disappearance was the second major accident involving a Navy R6D-1 in 19 months, an R6D-1 having crashed in Hawaii in March 1955.
A 14-day search for the aircraft and survivors found only wheels and a life raft floating 596 km (370 miles) southwest of LandШаблон:'s End. No trace of the crew or passengers was ever found.[2][3][5]
