International Organization, 1955, vol. 9, issue 1, 157-158

Abstract: Pursuant to a letter of September 8 from the United States, the Security Council convened for its 679th and 680th meetings on September 10, 1954, to consider the Soviet–United States controversy concerning the shooting down of a United States military aircraft. The United States letter stated that one of its naval aircraft, on a peaceful mission, was attacked and shot down without warning by two Soviet aircraft over international waters. A Soviet communication to the Security Council on September 10 stated that the United States military aircraft was in Soviet air space one hundred miles east of Vladivostok when spotted by two Soviet fighters. Upon attempting to warn the United States aircraft that it was violating Soviet territory and attempting to advise it to leave Soviet air space, the United States aircraft fired without provocation on the two Soviet aircraft. The Soviet aircraft returned fire and the United States aircraft disappeared, its fate unknown.
