Nope. I know the pic you mean, but there is another pic of the B-24 damage in one of my books, although I don't think it's in a book specifically about the B-24.
It was almost certainly taken at the same time as the other 'ground' shot, but is a close-up of just the crew members in the escape hatch area, without the wing and engine in view.
If I wasn't so darned stiff and sore, I'd have a look through my library, as I have a rough idea of which book it's in - but then, until I get a new scanner, I couldn't post the pic anyway !

You could always use the point-n-shoot to get a shot of the page...just like they do in the spy movies!

I have actually snapped photos of pages with the cellphone or my ipad, since I hate opening the book wide enough to scan it.

Yep - if I can find the energy to find the book !

An IJA officer betrayed his country by guiding U.S. bombers to his secret headquarters in Mindanao.
Lucky to him and his family, this story is little known in my country.

Very cool. Funny that the camo on the Brit jugs aren't the same.

Notice the bubble canopy fuselage bottom right.

Plus RAF pilots are so goddam awesome they dont even need wings, tailfins or engines.
