Boby I

On May 26, 1926 at 12:00 AM, Boby I experienced a crash involving Potez 25, operated by Georges Pelletier-Doisy, with the event recorded near Warsaw Masovian Voivodeship (Mazowieckie).

The flight was categorized as private and the reported phase was takeoff (climb) at a airport (less than 10 km from airport) crash site.

2 people were known to be on board, 0 fatalities were recorded, 2 survivors were identified or estimated. This corresponds to an estimated fatality rate of 0.0%.

Crew on board: 2, crew fatalities: 0, passengers on board: 0, passenger fatalities: 0, other fatalities: 0.

The listed crash cause is other causes. The crew was engaged in a long flight from Paris to Pekin with intermediate stops in Warsaw and Russia. During the takeoff roll in Warsaw, the aircraft's main gear hit a pothole in the ground. The gear broke and the aircraft came to rest upside down. While both crew members were uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It appears that the pothole was caused by the recent heavy rain falls. It was 'repaired' few days before the accident but it seems that was insufficient. Crew: Captain Georges Pelletier-Doisy, pilot, Henri Carol, mechanic.

Aircraft reference details include registration Boby I.
