Narrative: American and Chinese jet fighters clashed near Hainan Island, China, on
April 9, 1965. One American fighter crashed after accidentally being hit by a mis-
sile from another American plane. China also shot down one of the four US fighter
jets that engaged with Chinese jets over the province, Kwangsi, near North Vietnam,
almost six months later, on October 5. Incidents like these continued until February
1968 as American fighters would continue to fly near Chinese territory, often crossing
into Chinese airspace, as the air force prosecuted the war in Vietnam.
