After bombing roads and bridges in the region of Venlo, the crew was returning to his base in England when he was hit by the German Flak. The captain decided to return to Venlo and attempted to make an emergency landing at Venlo. On final approach, two of the occupants bailed out but the distance between the aircraft and the ground was insufficient thus both crewmen crashed and were killed. Both pilots continued the approach but on landing, the aircraft hit violently the runway surface, went out of control and came to rest in flames. Both pilots were seriously injured while the aircraft was destroyed.

The aircraft had just dropped its supplies from 700 feet when it was met with intense anti-aircraft fire. The tail unit, rudder, port aileron and engine, the starboard auxiliary fuel tank and all the gyro instruments were either damaged or put out of action, and one of the Army dispatchers was mortally wounded. The captain, F/O L. R. Pattee and his copilot, F/O A. C. Kent, flew the crippled aircraft back to the British lines, through three more areas of enemy flak, where they sustained further serious damage, including a five foot hole in the starboard wing which caught fire, and complete electrical and communications failure. Once over the British lines, Pattee gave the crew and dispatchers the opportunity to bale out, but they refused and the pilots then made a successful belly-landing in the field. No sooner had they all quit the Dakota, than it was engulfed by flames. The unfortunate dispatcher died soon after the landing, while the others were taken to Brussels and the crew returned to RAF Down Ampney.
