What happened
During World War II, a military aircraft departed from RAF Feni to conduct an offensive operation targeting Japanese defensive positions within the Chin Hills region. While executing this mission, the airframe came under hostile attack. The machine sustained critical damage from enemy fire, which resulted in the loss of its right propeller. Following this structural failure, the aircraft crashed approximately 42 kilometers east-northeast of Hakha.
All three individuals on board perished in the incident. The crew consisted of a pilot, a navigator, and a wireless operator who also served as an air gunner.
