I bet it's not battle damage. B29 engines like to overheat and catch fire

My father's Jane VI - March 22, 1945 strafing Memingen A/F near Munich.
Either 37mm or 40mm flak hit on rudder. Allegedly he recovered from a snap roll after this hit.
In all he received flak damage on four Mustangs that he brought back to England - and one he left behind enemy lines in France. Four belly landings of the five.
This was the only 'normal' landing of the five
the one that was rammed by a 109 ( over tunisia if i remember right ) with the dead pilot onboard broke in two after landing.. the really hero there was the tailgunner who refused to leave his station and stayed put the rest of the flight back home
3rd picture from the bottom up, what BG is that!?
