The aircraft left Xi'an (Hsian) Airport at 1500LT bound for Kunming with 35 passengers and a crew of four. While cruising at an altitude of 23,000 feet over the cloud layer, the left engine caught fire. The captain ordered the radio operator and the flight engineer to bail out. Shortly later, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed 123 km west of Hechi, killing all 37 occupants. Both crew that bailed out survived. The pilot, Major Carrol D. Gregory, and the copilot 2nd Lt Ralph R. Young were killed.

The airplane was performing a cargo flight from Chongqing to Kunming, carrying a load of silk. En route, it appears that the crew lost his orientation and continued to the east part of Yunnan. Eventually, the airplane impacted the slope of a mountain and crashed some 160 km east of Kunming. All three crew members were killed.

While overflying the Dali Lake, the airplane suffered an engine failure. It lost height, hit obstacles and eventually crashed in a cemetery overhanging the city of Dali. All three crew members were killed.

The crew was performing a cargo flight from Kunming to Tengchong, Yunnan. Due to poor weather conditions at destination, the crew was unable to land in Tengchong and decided to continue to Dinjan, Assam, India. While overflying north of Burma, the crew encountered very bad weather conditions and the aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located in the region of Ziadum, Kachin State. The wreckage was later found at an elevation of 12,034 feet. All four crew members were killed. The accident occurred in severe icing conditions, turbulence and strong wind from southwest up to 100 mp/h.

Crashed in flames 19 km northeast of Kunming and was destroyed. Crew fate unknown.

The flight was initiated in heavy rain falls. After take off, while climbing, both engines lost power and the aircraft lost height before crashing on Mt Digboi located in the Naga mountain range, few miles from the Dinjan Airport. The wreckage was spotted a day later and all three crew members were killed.

While approaching Kunming, the crew was unable to locate the airport because the bearing signals were inaudible. As the weather conditions worsened, the captain decided to turn over the region, awaiting an improvement, but as the fuel reserve was insufficient, the crew decided eventually to bail out and abandoned the aircraft. While the aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a wooded area, all three crew members were later recovered and evacuated safely.
