A B-24 after being hit by a pair of 1000lb bombs dropped by another B-24 during a mission over Italy, there were no serious injuries to the crew.

  1. There's a small picture under the cockpit windows that looks like Cecil Turtle from Looney Tunes. Most of the picture is blocked by some damaged metal from the engine cowling.

    1. I couldn't make that out, wondered what the hell I was looking at, but now that you've identified it, it's easy to make out the turtle.
      Damn shame the plane doesn't have a name on the nose! Then I might find more photos of it online

  2. One of the comments on Daily Timewaster says it is a Liberator B Mark VI, KK320, "V-Victor". I saw somewhere else it was called "V for Victor" and it's a British plane. I tried searching for it, and I only found this picture, one from the plane above, with the bombs falling, and another after it was hit, with the engine smoking.
