1959年10月7日，中华民国空军上尉王英钦驾驶RB-57D型高空侦察机从台湾前往大陆执行侦察照相任务，上午12点5分左右飞机在北京通县上空被共军空军地空导弹兵第2营用萨姆2型导弹击落，这是世界防空史上用地空导弹击落飞机的第一起战例。
10月8日美国中情局所发布的情报动态（CURRENT
INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM）在分析该飞机失联的原因时并未提到被地空导弹击落，但提到了被空对空导弹击落的可能性。1958年国军在空战中曾用响尾蛇导弹击落过共军飞机（据说这是世界上空对空导弹击落飞机第一例），所以美国人猜测共军可能也掌握了这种武器。

CURRENT INTELLIGENCE
MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Apparent Loss of
Chinese Nationalist Aircraft Over Chinese Mainland
1.
A Chinese Nationalist HB-57D apparently was lost over the Chinese Mainland on 7
October. (CROSSOUT)
2. No further information on the fate of the plane
is available at this time. As yet there has been no
indication of any communist fighter activity in the area involved at the time
reported, and no distress signal was received
from the aircraft despite the lengthy period during which it was losing
speed and altitude.
3. The aircraft involved was an RB-57D flown by the Chinese Nationalist Air Force on a
photo intelligence Mission. This type of aircraft has been used extensively
during the past year on similar Missions without mishap despite strenuous
interception efforts on the part of the Communists. The altitude at which these
Missions were flown was beyond the capability of Mainland fighter aircraft.
4. The apparent loss of the RB-57D is as yet unexplained,
although further information may shed light on the incident. Possible explanations for the loss include:
a. Mechanical
difficulty.
b. Interception by
Communist fighters. This would indicate that the Communists have developed a
high-altitude interception capability, possibly using FARMER (MIG-19) type
aircraft. This would also at least raise the possibility
of Chinese Communist use of air-to-air missiles. Communist high-altitude
test flights have been frequent during the past three weeks and there have
been two recent attempts at high-altitude interception of missions similar to
this one.
c. Defection of the
air crew. There have been some defections in the
past, but no nationalist air crews have defected in recent years.
5. The loss of this RB-57D may lead to a curtailment
of Chinese nationalist collection of photo intelligence over the mainland.
Furthermore, if this aircraft did in fact, as it appears, go down on the
Chinese mainland, the Communists may try to use the incident
as "proof” of US “aggression” even though no United States
personnel were on board.
