22 July 1954 A Cathay Pacific Airlines DC-4 on a flight from Bangkok Thailand to Hong Kong, was shot down by Chinese La-9 fighters near Hainan island, China. Of the 18 people on board (including 6 Americans), 10 were killed and 8 survived.

26 July 1954 Two US Navy AD-4 Skyraiders from VF-54, piloted by William Alexander and John Zarious,were launched from the USS Phillipine Sea (CVA 47) to look for survivors from the Cathay Pacific DC-4 shot down four days previously. They were attacked by two Chinese La-7s. A number of other VF-54 AD-4s and a F4U-5N of VC-3 came to the aid of the USN aircraft. One La-7 was shot down by AD-4 pilots Roy Tatham and Richard Cooks. The other LA-7 was shot down by AD-4 pilots John Damien, John Rochford, Paul Wahlstrom and Richard Ribble and the F4U-5N pilot Edgar Salsig. A Chinese gunboat also fired upon the US aircraft, but no damage was sustained.
