Narrative:After the C-46 took off from Chongqing Baishiyi Airport with 3 crew members and an unspecified number of passengers aboard, its starboard engine nacelle caught fire at 9000 ft. The crew returned for emergency landing; they also extinguished the fire within ten minutes. However, the first officer misinterpreted the landing gear indication lights and did not lock the landing gear prior to touchdown. As a consequence, the landing gear retracted by itself on the ground, and the airplane was damaged beyond repair. There was no casualty.
