Unfortunately yes they did. I had a friend that went down in one on the Patomic years back. Part of the inital "reports" on the V-22 found and blamed a tricky problem considered verticle edge or ring vortexing. This considerable problem led to them being slammed down on the tarmac or surface as they were in verticle transition. I believe they are well beyond this problem now though. A true shame that it cost those lives.
