What happened
During the Korean War era, an aircraft was completing its return flight to Yokota Air Force Base in Tokyo following the conclusion of a combat mission. The aircraft was operating with one engine non-functional at the time of the incident.
As the flight crew performed the final approach, the airplane became unstable. In response to the deteriorating flight conditions, the pilot-in-command initiated a go-around procedure. During this maneuver, the aircraft stalled and descended rapidly, impacting the ground just a few dozen yards before reaching the runway threshold.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. The accident resulted in nine fatalities among the crew members and left five others injured.
