Narrative:
A "Dave" was shot down with the loss of its crew, according to IJN's combat record. Nevertheless, the Japanese record did not include any information about where the airplane went down. Since there was an aerial battle over Anhui Province on that day, the "Dave" was possibly downed there.

Chinese records: 1937-09-28 A Japanese airplane was hit by AAA and crashed near Tudian Town, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. The two crew members survived by bailing out and were subsequently killed in action while fighting Chinese militia.
