An American Boeing B-29 Superfortress, whose registration was unknown, was destroyed when it crashed onto hilly terrain in the countryside of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, China. All 15 occupants were killed. Photos of the wreckage showed that the aircraft had the United States Air Force insignia.
Seemingly this airplane was not shot down. Neither the purpose of the flight nor the cause of the crash had been made public.
