We have no information regarding mishaps of air vehicles belonging to civilian or other government agencies. Please note that mishaps involving unmanned air vehicles (which during the 1940s included remotely piloted aircraft, low-speed "cruise missiles" like the V-1, and most balloons) are considered "ground mishaps." Reports on such occurrences are not retained for an extended period; AFR 4-20, vol II, Table 127-2, rule 4 directs the Air Force Safety Agency to destroy them after 5 years.
