Can't remember if this was already posted or not. Looks like it has been burning for a while. That must have been pure hell.

Hopefully no duplicates in this bunch...

A-20 Havoc, 9th AF hit by flak over France. Note the rudder debris behind the aircraft, seen between the fuselage and the starboard engine. The plane plunged to earth just after this photo was taken.




Lancater suffered a direct hit by flak.




B-24 inverted after losing the outer section of it's port wing.




B-24 hit by flak. Note the fuel bladder protruding from the port wing.




B-24 (Little Warrior) hit by flak. Photo taken from the (Green Hornet) as Little Warrior nosing up and over.
(This is not the original photo, the original shows the actual attitude of the striken B-24. You can just barely see the horizon beneath the B-24's nose, appearing as a faint diagonal line)




8th AF B-17 devestated by falling bombs.

Here a picture of a S32C Lansen from spring 1967. Just when it taking off from Skavsta field (F11) a turbine wheel from the rotor shaft came off from the engine and cut out the fuselage while it devastated the rudder cables to the tailrudder and the aircraft became unkontrolled. The aircraft crashed after 5 sec. into the runway extension and whent foward to nearly ramming a farmer on his tractor. What is unique here is that a cadet with his camera managed to take a picture, just like the turbine wheel cuts through the fuselage. Both occupants were killed.
