What happened
During an active mission in the Korean War, a twin-engine aircraft was struck by enemy ground or air fire. Despite sustaining damage from the engagement, the flight crew managed to navigate the aircraft away from the combat zone and proceed toward Miho Airport.
As the aircraft attempted to land at the airfield, it became uncontrollable. The subsequent crash resulted in the total destruction of the twin-engine plane. There were three injuries reported among the crew members following the impact.
Findings
- The aircraft had been previously struck by enemy fire during its combat mission.
- The loss of control occurred specifically during the landing phase.
