Found some pictures online that I'd never seen before:
Crossing the Rhine 
B-24 hit( I sure hope they got out but it doesn't look good  )
Bombing down in the weeds

Very cool. I haven't seen the Crossing the Rhine or the parabomb pics before.
Seems to me just a few days ago I saw a vid or caption for the B24 pic. About ½ the crew made it out but were captured on landing. The pilot, or maybe copilot, died of injuries sustained in the destruction of the airplane after a couple days in captivity. |

Never seen that one before; awesome pic. Probably taken from a B-25 during a para-frag bombing run in New Guinea. |
