Narrative:The DC-4 was flying back to Tehran after a cargo flight to Beirut at FL130-FL150 when it became lost. The plane is presumed to have flown over Russian territory and was shot at by an unidentified plane, causing damage to the no. 1 engine nacelle and wing structure. The no. 1 engine caught fire, forcing the crew to extinguish it and feather the prop. A little later the no. 4 engine had to be shut down and the prop feathered because of a no. 4 fuel tank low fuel indication. This situation forced the crew to make an emergency wheels-up landing on the southwest coast of the Caspian Sea.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The accident was attributed to faulty navigation."
