Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1940s
Following is a list of accidents and incidents Aeroflot experienced in the 1940s. The deadliest event the Soviet Union's flag carrier went through in the decade occurred in November 1941 , when a Lisunov PS-84 crashed in Lake Ladoga following an attack by a German fighter. Another 36 died when a Tupolev PS-124 crashed in the Kazakh SSR after a passenger took control.
The number of recorded fatalities aboard Aeroflot aircraft during the decade rose to 1143; likewise, 225 of its aircraft were written off in accidents or incidents, split into one Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra, 29 Douglas C-47s, five Douglas DC-3s, five Tupolev G-2s, 14 Ilyushin Il-12s, eight Junkers Ju 52s, 158 Lisunov PS-84/Li-2s, one PBN-1 Nomad, one Tupolev PS-40, one PS-124 and two Douglas TS-62s. Most of the fatal accidents took place within the borders of the Soviet Union. Most aircraft losses during this decade were during World War II.
Certain Western media accounts have speculated that the Soviet government was reluctant publicly to admit the occurrence of such events. The true number of accidents, they suggest, might have been higher, as fatal events would have only been admitted when there were foreigners aboard the crashed aircraft, the accident took place in a foreign country, or they reached the news for some reason.[1][2] However, since the dissolution of the USSR, no evidence of significant numbers of unreported serious accidents has emerged, in any of its then-constituent republics.

Just after takeoff the left engine began to overheat. Thirty-eight minutes into the flight the left engine lost oil pressure and was shut down, but this also caused a loss of electric power, as the generator on the other engine was not working. The crew continued on the remaining engine, but a return to Kosisty was not possible due to poor weather. The crew flew towards Khatanga, but were unable to locate the airport and continued to Volochanka. Five hours into the flight the crew encountered icing conditions, but changed course and left for better weather conditions. The number one engine overheated and failed and the pilot then force-landed the aircraft in tundra on the Taymyr Peninsula. Three days after the accident, nine people (three crew and six passengers) left the crash site to seek help and were never seen again. The pilot's skeletal remains were found in a bog 120 km (75 mi) southwest of the crash site on 23 October 1953 by a reindeer herder; nothing is known of the remaining eight. The remaining 25 survivors were rescued on 13 May 1947 by an Li-2.
