USN Aircrew Names
This is an alphabetical list of crewmembers listed on a USN accident report or loss list. There are no reports for loss lists, but still
check with us as we can at least provide general information on the loss. Most names are listed last name first, but some are listed first name or first initial first, so check both
ways. There are numerous typos, and the accident reports frequently misspell names or use different spellings such as Wade and Waid, so when you look for a particular
name and are unable to find it, try different combinations of spelling. Although this list contains over 34,000 names, it is by no means complete.
