M3 75 mm SP guns used for indirect fire in Italy, 18 February 1945. They must be expecting a long fire mission going by all the ammo stacked ready to use.

I've posted this photo in other threads in the past, most recently today in a bomber versus fighter discussion.
Then it occurred to me that it might be fitting for the "Picture of the Day" since this happened exactly 69 years ago today.
This is a B-24M (44-50838) that was hit by a salvo of R4M rockets launched by a Me262 on 4 April 1945. Only one crewmember, Cpl. Charles Cupp, Jr., survived.

It's a hard picture to look at, knowing that the crew is still aboard. If you look just to the left of the tail assembly, you'll see a patch of debris. Look closely in that debris and find the ball turret. The gunner was still strapped in...

The B-24 is hard to look at??????
How about all them sailors running off the hull of the Barham???
Take a closer look!

I-16 looks like a dead engine landing because the prop isnt damaged but the bottom of the cowling is where it presumably nosed over.

An I-15 that looks like another emergency landing or the result of a ground attack I am not sure

Great pics gents! Since the landing gear looks ok, I'm guessing ground attack.

I agree with you on the I-15 definitely GA but the I-16 there looks to be scrape marks running back from it so not so sure on that. Unless it was dragged off a runway to clear it for LW use.
