What happened
During a scheduled logistics operation, an aircraft was transporting bags of rice to a specific destination. While the flight was maintaining a low-altitude cruise, the plane was struck by enemy fire. The impact caused the aircraft to crash into a prairie area.
As a result of the crash, two fatalities were recorded among the crew members. Additionally, five other individuals on board were captured and taken as prisoners of war following the incident.
Findings
Investigations into the destruction of the aircraft concluded that the primary reason for the loss was that the plane was shot down by enemy fire during its low-altitude flight phase.
