The shooting down of an
American patrol bomber in the

the Siberian coast recalls other
aerial clashes between United

training flight over the Baltic.
Ten men were aboard. The
United States Government for

planes of shooting down a

plane outside Soviet boundaries.
The United States demanded in
IDENTITIES. But official Soviet
newspapers continued to claim
the United States flyers had vi

More recently the clashes have
occurred in the Far East.
On February 16, 1858, the
United States Air Force reported
two of its jets fired on an equal
number of Soviet type planes
over Northern Japan. One of
the Soviet type ships was re-
ported damaged and both sent
fleeing toward the Russian-held
Kurile Islands.

Based on information from
survivors. the Navy here gave
this account:
The Neptune was on routine
patrol on q course roughly par
allel with the Siberian coast.
The crews first hint of trouble
came in the form of tracer bull
lets as the first jet plane made a
pass without doing any damage.
A second jet came up under the

scored hits on the wings. The

A few minutes later, fire was no.

wings and it was forced to ditch,
hitting the water at about 100
miles an hour. The plane sank
almost at once.
Dispatches from Tokyo said a
distress call was heard Saturday
night, but that it was then too
late for rescue craft to reach
the spot before darkness. Rescue
planes were dispatched so as to
reach the area at daylight, and
they picked up the nine sur
vivors.
Two destroyers, the Brush and
the Maddox, were also sent to the
area but did not take part in the
rescue.
