Finnish passenger plane "Kaleva" (Junkers Ju-52-3/mge) with 9 people onboard and carrying 227 kilos of diplomatic mail is shot down by two Russian DB3-T bombers near the lighthouse of Keri in Gulf of Finland. Passengers and crew were killed.

The mail left over after the crash is picked up by a Russian submarine (Shch-301).
