Multiple accidents stemmed from engine-related problems, including a fatal loss of power during takeoff, dual-engine failure due to suspected fuel exhaustion, and a seized exhaust valve on a maintenance test flight.
Several incidents involved a loss of aircraft control, often occurring during maneuvering, in adverse weather conditions (fog, snow) or at night, leading to impacts, spins, and multiple fatalities.
