• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

42-52661 was a B-24H that was assigned to the 484th BG, based in Torretto Field, Italy. On 13 june 1944, it participated in a raid on Munich, piloted by Lt Edward Eibs. They suffered a supercharger failure over the Alps, ad discovered that they couldn't open the bomb bay doors. As they didn't have enough fuel to fly back to base with a full bomb load, they dropped the boms through the doors, which gave way under the weight of the ordnance. The 84th was then attacked by fighters, and although 2661 escaped unscathed, two crewmen took to their parachutes. As they still lacked suffiecient fuel to return to base, they landed in Dubendorf, Switzerland. Repaint for the Alphasim B-24 Liberator by Jan Kees Blom.
