List of aviation accidents and incidents in the Netherlands

This list of aviation accidents and incidents in the Netherlands includes aviation crashed and severe incidents. Not all reported and minor investigated incidents are listed. The list also doesn't include airplane crashes in another country with many Dutch victims or a Dutch airline or Dutch owned airplane crash in another country.

The deadliest crash was El Al Flight 1862 with 43 deaths. More military airplanes crashed than other kind of airplanes. Most of the military airplane crashes occurred in the Netherlands during World War II, with a total of around 6000 airplanes. ^[1] While during World War I the Netherlands was neutral, some airships crashed in the country. After World War II over 10 military airplanes crashed each year (not that the list is incomplete) in the 1950s. ^[2] The deadliest accident with a military airplane was the 1946 Apeldoorn aircraft crash with a total of 24 deaths. ^[3] In 1980 the Dutch army bought their firsts F-16 fifhters. In 1993 the 29th F-16 crashed (note that not all F-16 planes crashed in the Netherlands). ^[4]

19 September 1944		7	During the Battle of Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division was in desperate need of supplies. Lord's Douglas Dakota III "KG374" encountered intense enemy anti-aircraft fire and was twice hit, with one engine burning. Lord managed to drop his supplies, but at the end of the run found that there were two containers remaining. Although he knew that one of his wings might collapse at any moment, he nevertheless made a second run to drop the last supplies, then ordered his crew to bail out. A few seconds later, the Dakota crashed in flames with its Irish transport pilot David Lord and six crew members. [116]
3 April 1945		8	An American B17G bomber (43-38992) and was involved in bombing a submarine base in Kiel. On its way back it was hit by anti-aircraft fire. Two engines were hit, caught fire and crashed at Den Hoorn. Of the ten American crew members, three escaped using their parachute. One of them remained at the tail end of the plane and died during the crash together with the seven other crew members. The two others landed in the Wadden Sea and became prisoners of war in Texel.
