Vietnam. Any US planes lost in China ?

I vaguely recollect hearing about an A-3 that left Cubi Point for Yankee
Station and short of Hainan Island it turned north and was shot down by the
Chinese.

Does anyone know more about the incident?

Were there ever any United States combat planes lost in China during
the Vietnam war ? Some of our planes must have flown close enough to
China that they may have possibly had to crash there.

I hope the following is of some use - sources are, "Journey into Darkness" by
Col. Philip E. Smith and Peggy Herz; the POW Network SCOPE Datatbase; "Vietnam
Air Losses" by Chris Hobson and "Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club" by Rene Francillon.
