From the Wikipedia article
The 1962 Polish Air Force Ilyushin Il-14 accident near Warsaw occurred on 3 March 1962, when an Ilyushin Il-14P of the Air Force of the Polish People's Republic collided in mid-air with a parachutist. Several people on board the aircraft were injured; the parachutist was killed by the collision.
Sequence of the accident
The Ilyushin was one of six aircraft that had set off that day, carrying paratroopers, for parachute jumping exercises. In flight, the aircraft collided with a paratrooper of the 6. Pomorska Dywizja Powietrzna (6th Pomeranian Air Division), who had previously jumped from another Il-14. The paratrooper, who had struck the area of the cockpit, was killed instantly, and the captain of the aircraft was seriously injured. The first officer of the Il-14 took over the controls of the badly damaged aircraft. He managed to make an emergency landing with the landing gear retracted, in which the Ilyushin was damaged beyond repair and several occupants were injured.
