From the Wikipedia article
The China National Aviation Corporation Flight 67 accident refers to an aviation accident that occurred at Longhua Airport, Shanghai, China, on 14 December 1946. Owing to strong winds and an operating fault, China National Aviation Corporation Flight 67 veered off the runway on landing and struck Dahua Aviation Company aircraft No. 104, injuring one passenger. Afterwards, Dahua Aviation Company was ordered to cease operations by the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government, the Xinsui Company took over its aircraft, and CNAC agreed to pay it full compensation.
Course of events
At 5:20 pm that day, this C-47 Nanjing-Shanghai scheduled aircraft, during its landing, owing to strong winds and the pilot's nervousness, made an operating error that caused it to descend too fast. On landing the aircraft veered off the runway and struck the empty Dahua Aviation Company aircraft No. 104 parked to one side, severely damaging No. 104's wings, propellers and engines, almost beyond repair. Flight 67's left wing was also damaged, but the aircraft was eventually stopped from moving forward by the obstruction. Had the aircraft rushed forward another fifty-odd yards, it might have collided with a hangar storing gasoline, with unimaginable consequences.
