Aircraft accidents in Ryedale during 1944.

All incidents, whether they be on airfields, close to airfields or on land away from airfields are included in this list. By this stage in the War, East Moor had been fully operational for some time and many of these Flak incidents go to show how often crews and aircraft sustained damage, there were many more flak incidents which are not included on this list as the crews had to make landings in the south of England because of the damage sustained. Crews completing their training in the four-engine bombers used Wombleton's Heavy Conversion Unit as one of their training bases and this station's activities were in full swing.
