Nairobi - November 1974 - Lufthansa 747 crashed after take-off because crew failed to set LE flaps.
They set the flap correctly however they managed to isolate the leading edge bleed air completely therefore preventing the leading edge from extending. At the time there was no indication of LE position to let the crew know.
