The PBN-1 Nomad flying boat, a modified license built PBY Catalina, departed the Podkamennaya Tunguska River on a flight to Turukhansk, Russia. The flight was uneventful.

The bow collapsed and broke away. The aircraft was in a waterlogged state at an angle of 50-60°. Two women and a child drowned.
