January 13, 1955AccidentHull loss
Shortly after takeoff from Bykovo Airport, while climbing to a height of 20-30 meters, the right engine failed.

The airplane burst into flames and was totally destroyed as well as the house.

It was determined that the failure of the right engine was caused by an act of sabotage. A nut was found in the fuel line which caused the fuel pump to fail during initial climb. A similar case was detected eight days prior to the crash. Full accident record
