I wonder if this is one that even though the pilot determined was unflyable, had it's own computer take over and level out after ejection...? Then belly landed after...

I looked up the report years ago and from what I can remember it was hit by AAA at low level, engines flamed out, Pilot and WSO ejected and the F4 pan caked into a rice paddy substantially complete.
Must have been quite the prize for their Soviet advisers!
The good old F4 was built like a tank!

I wonder, I know it was a long time ago now, but could they possibly have been ex Nationalist Chinese Mauser's, the Germans supplied large amounts of equipment to the Nationalist forces before Japan joined the Axis forces and the supply abruptly stopped!

From what I saw during 1968-69 in particular the WWII German weapons were coming from Eastern Europe via the Soviet Union, China and down the HCM from North Vietnam. A lot of the ammunition we captured also came from Eastern Europe. There was also an abundance of Soviet and Chi-Com weapons at that time too. I also remember seeing a few weapons that I was told came from North Korea as well.

It would seem bizarre that there might have been a point in the war when the Allies and the Axis countries were both supplying the Nationalist Chinese!
