Album IV, 19: El bombarder sense cara / The bomber without face

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Un B-24 Liberator amb danys gravissims al morro i la cabina. Donada la extrema violencia dels danys, costa d'imaginar que es donessin en vol, ja que ha de ser impossible aterrar un avió en aquest estat. Per tant, probablement fou un xoc (accident?) entre avions a terra mateix.

Aquest album correspon a un membre de la USAAF durant la campanya del Pacific a la Segona Guerra Mundial.

En concret, es tracta de George McMannamy, que serví com a tripulant de bombarder amb el 19th Bomb Squadron del 22 Bomb Group. Aquesta unitat, equipada amb B-26, va combatre contra els japonesos des de Australia (Garbutt Field, Townsville, Iron Range) i Nova Guinea (Dobodura, Nadzab).

=====================

A B-24 Liberator after suffering massive damage to the front & cockpit. As it's surely impossible to land an aircraft without cockpit, this destruction must have been caused by some kind of accident while grounded.

This album was made by a member of the USAAF during the Pacific campaign in World War II.

His name was George McMannamy, who served as a bomber crew with the 19th Bomb Squadron, 22nd Bomb Group. This unit, equipped with Martin B-26 Maraunder bombers, fought against the Japanese from Australia (Garbutt Field, Townsville, Iron Range) and New Guinea (Dobodura, Nadzab).
