Harry the Horse was put down in New Guinea. When a horse breaks it's leg, that's the right thing to do.

Returning from a mission to drop supplies over Hollandia, this bomber ran short of fuel and attempted to land at Tadji Airfield on May 4th, 1944. During the landing the right wheel collapsed, causing the B-17 to skid off the runway in a “wild run” that ended “within the limits of a bomb dump”.

 The B-17 sustained damage to the outer wing. Beyond repair, the wreckage was stripped for parts and partially disassembled from the wings and abandoned in a bone yard area.
