Supply

The aircraft was returning from a supply dropping sortie and had been diverted from its home base because of the poor weather conditions prevailing. It seems the crew did not receive the diversion message and once again the radio frequencies were changed by arrangements with the USAAF authorities but not notified to this crew in their pre-sortie briefing. On reaching the airfield the weather conditions were found to be cloud with a ceiling of 400 feet but despite knowing there were hills in close proximity to the airfield, the pilot descended into the cloud and the aircraft struck the high ground and burst into flames after impact. Subsequently, it was discovered that the signal notifying the frequency changes had not been received by the parent squadron until 5 hours after the accident. It was commented that the Wing HQ could have passed the frequency change direct to the aircraft on the existing frequency before the change was implemented.

The crew was performing a supply mission to Chinese soldiers based at the boundary post number 37, near the border between Burma and China. After a low pass to drop food, the pilot attempted to gain height but was unable to retract the gear. During steep climb, the undercarriage hit tree tops, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a huge explosion about 2 km from the Chinese border. Four crew members were killed while two others were injured.

Radio contact was lost with the aircraft as it was approaching Myikyitna and was cruising in icing conditions some 25 miles from the intended destination. No trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. The crew was completing a supply mission.
