You could make a strong argument that Robert Winley portrayed the unluckiest characters in movie history. He was the guy whose throat was sliced open by Bill Paxton's spurs wearing vampire in Near Dark, the unfortunate biker in the beginning of Terminator 2: Judgement Day who Arnold calculated as a perfect match for the clothing he needed AND one of Marshall Stockburn's deputies who were taken out one by one Jason Voorhees style by Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider.

Transport T-2 by Willard Womack
Via Flickr:
This Forkker F-IV, renamed by the Army the T-2 (Transport 2 in order to avoid the name Forkker just three years after World War 1) became the first aircraft to fly nonstop coast to coast. The plan was to fly from West to East in order to have tail winds. After two failures, although one did set a time aloft record, the plan changed to fly from long Island to San Diageo. This route would allow them to burn off much of their fuel before reaching the mountains. The two pilots, Lt Oakley Kelly and Lt John Macready had only a compass and highway maps for navigation. One flew the plane, sitting next to the V-12 400hp engine. The other sat being fuel tanks in the fuselage. The noise had to be deafening, and their only way of communicating was a clothesline type arrangement where written messages could be sent back and forth. They changed positions every six hours, coordinating this with the message system. The pilot in back would fly, with his set of controls, while the other moved aft and replaced him. This pilot would then move forward to the cockpit and take the controls there. This arrangement repeated four or five times during the flight. They flew below clouds in misty rain, and across the Western plains, at night, with no ground lights in sight. Once they circled for several minutes’ burning fuel in order to fly through a mountain pass, and did so at only 100 feet above the ground. They had departed on May 2, 1923 and arrive 27 hours, 50 minutes and 20 seconds later, May 3 1923. The T-2 is now in the Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum.
