Bombing

On final approach to Daegu Airport (USAF K-2 Airfield), the twin engine aircraft stalled and crashed 6 km west of the airport. All three crew members were killed. It is believed that the loss of control was caused by a dual engine failure due to a fuel exhaustion.

The twin engine aircraft was hit by antiaircraft fire and crashed in a huge explosion near Sunchon, killing all three crew members.

While flying at low height, the aircraft was hit by enemy antiaircraft fire, hit power cables and crashed. All three crew members were killed.

The crew left Kadena AFB, Okinawa, on a bombing mission at the border between China and North Korea, to destroy bridges over the Yalu River. En route, the aircraft was attacked by the pilot (Maj G. I. Kharkovskii) of a Soviet Air Force MiG-15. The crew was able to leave the area but was forced to divert to Seoul-Kimpo Airport for an emergency landing. On touchdown, the heavy bomber went out of control, veered off runway and collided with several parked aircraft. All 12 crew members were evacuated, three of them were injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The heavy bomber left Kadena AFB for the Korea War theater. Shortly after takeoff, while climbing, the engine number one developed trouble and the aircraft was too heavy to return immediately to Kadena for a safe landing. The crew decided to jettison some of the bombs stored in the bomb bay to light the aircraft. Although the bombs were dropped in a safe condition, some of them exploded while impacting the sea. Fragments severely damaged the airplane to the extent that it was necessary to ditch in the sea about five miles from the end of the runway. Eight crew members were killed while three others were injured.

Crashed on takeoff for unknown reasons. A crew member was killed while ten others were rescued. Two rescuers also died during the rescue operations.

The heavy bomber aircraft was hit by antiaircraft fire, exploded in mid-air and disintegrated. It appears that three crew members were able to bail out and were rescued while eight other occupants were killed.

While flying at low height, the aircraft hit power cables and crashed. All three crew members were killed.

The crew was engaged in an aerial attack on several enemy vessels based off Chinnampo, North Korea. During the attack, the aircraft was hit by enemy antiaircraft fire (20 mm) and the right engine caught fire. The captain decided to leave the area and flew west to the Yellow Sea where he completed an emergency landing about 10 km off Paeng Nylong-do. The aircraft was lost but all nine crew members were rescued by the crew of the Royal Navy Ship HMS Kenya.

The crew was taking part to a bombing mission in the Korean War and was enroute to Korea with a load of bomb on board. While cruising in a formation of several B-29 bombers, the crew encountered an engine failure and the captain decided to return to his base. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, it was decided to jettison the bombs. A 500 pounds bomb hung up in the racks and while attempting to release the bomb, it detonated either within the bomb bay or immediately beneath the belly of the plane. Out of control, the aircraft christened 'Hoxie's Hoax' crashed into the Japan Sea off the Dōgo Island. Seven crew members were killed while five others were rescued in their dinghy about two days later.
