I vaguely remember a HB saying Armstrong's accident was the result of sabotage and was intended to scare him into doing what he was told.

Thank you for the answers!
Regarding this last table, do you know what means "class A", "class B" and "CUM Hours"?

The latter would be "cumulative hours," I believe.

Class A mishaps are those that result in more than a million dollars of damage and/or loss of life. Class B are those less than a million dollars of damage but more than 200,000 and/or involving hospitalization and Class C are less than 200,000 but more than 10,000. Incidentally, I've was on a JSTARS during one of the fleet's two Class A mishaps. It was a hard landing in foggy conditions. No deaths or major injuries but the airframe was twisted a bit internally. Externally it looked fine.

That decrease in accident rate the late 1950s is pretty striking, isn't it? What accounts for it?

Does it include combat losses? Or just accidents?

I'm not sure. guessing mainly. I know their stats in recent years include combat losses so I would think they would back then as well.
