On 24 March 1944, USAAF's Boeing B-25 Mitchell bomber aircraft (of the American 1st Air Commando Group) was on the return flight--from Imphal to Lalaghat--following an assessment of the situations in three Chindit-held bases in Burma which were under the command of British Major General Orde Charles Wingate. The Mitchell B-25 aircraft was being crewed by five American Air Corps personnel ---including Technical Sergeant J. W. Hickey---and there were four British passengers on board, including Major General Wingate, his Aide-de-camp, and two British war correspondents. The aircraft crashed into the Burmese jungle-covered hills (which is in the present-day state of Manipur in northeast India). All nine people on board the B-25 Mitchell perished in the accident.
