Hello I’m an old aviation enthusiast actually interested by Chinese aviation history. Has anyone informations about PB4Y-2 used by Chinese nationalist Air Force in the fifties and early sixties. One of them was shot down by Burmese Sea Furies in 1961 I think. Thank you very much !

38 P4Y-2s were transferred to the Chinese Nationalist Air Force between May of 1952 and June of 1956. They flew various missions against the Communist mainland, about which relatively few details are available, even today. A total of four were lost in action. The P4Y-2 flew its last combat mission in 1961, when a Chinese Nationalist Privateer was shot down by Burmese Hawker Sea Fury fighters while dropping supplies to rebels in the Shan State region.
