Dave Houle Flight Test Accident Archive
Dave Houle collected historical documentation from many notable aircraft mishaps. The documentation in this archive ranges from 1929-2011. Some are anecdotal articles, and others are full accident investigation reports. We have scanned these into searchable pdf files, available for download. There is also a rudimentary index of the contents of each file with a brief description of each article.
- Review the index to find the incident of interest.
- Locate the FT Accident file number (1-8) and page number next in the row of the selected incident to identify which volume contains the summary.
- Select the hyperlink of the specified volume, and go to the page number of interest for further details.
