A friend sent me this.

The nose was blown off by an German 88mm Flak gun killing the navigator and bombardier instantly. Supposedly the pilot managed to fly it until over friendly territory where the crew bailed out.

 
Holy Moly Bill! That must have been an interesting return trip! Great pics - now found my subject for my next P51D model !
Interesting pic VB, another 'nose job' which wasn't at all welcomed.

Here are a few. The drawing is of the B-17, aw shoot what's it's name... anyways an 88mm shell hit it killing the radio operator. It landed at a P-47 base somewhere in England and the pilot couldn't use the break for obvious reasons of the plane breaking in half. (He must've used flaps or something...)

EDIT: It's name was Miss Irish.

Here's some more good ones


And this one is pretty crazy especially since they landed it in one piece, of course it was a write off, but i'm not sure if they had any casulates, i don't think they did
