That's an R.A.F. Liberator which was hit by a bomb dropped from another B24 in the formation above it, I believe over Italy. Not sure, but I think it was repaired and put back into service.

thanks for the info Airframes that would be one hell of a repair job.
 
Sure would! But apparently the major damage was only to the top turret and the structure around it. Somewher, I've got a pic from above, of the same aircraft, with the bombs on the way down, before one of them hit the Lib and bounced off. If I can find it, I'll post it here.

i stuffed the post up my bad 2nd time lucky.
not too sure about the spit ( Battle Damaged)

The B24 had a tragic story about it. The mission was for a "milk run" mission and the crew was made up of veteran airman that were going to make their final mission. And as fate had it for them that day, the only 88mm AA battery defending the target hits them.

Wow, talking about getting the short end of the stick. Last mission, and they get nailed.
 
Wow - some excellent (new) pictures there guys !

Have been researching BD incident pictures for a few months now.

Saw your site on TOCH and joined on the strength of this thread.

A couple to keep the thread going:

Don't think either have been featured before. I have some info on the Wimpy (Wellington) but not on the B-25, so any feedback from forum readers would be great.

Looking forward to contributing as and when...

Regards,

BC
