A20, B26, A26 landing mishaps 410 BG

More from the 410 I must say at this time that I acquired these pictures because of one of the members of Air Heritage. His name was Bill Lorimer who was a rear turret gunner, and took all of these pictures. Just before he died he a few others of the 410 put together a history of the 410th and Bill got their editor to e mail all of the pictures. Bill also took a bunch of 8mm movie which he had trans to cassett and is at Air Heritage if anyone could get a copy made and dig it. It is really good stuff the one part that stands out is on the first D Day that Bill was not flying and took all this footage of aircraft flying by on the way to the beaches and I swear he caught a number of P47s towing gliders.

The last four were sent to me from a fellow who is a hiker out in CA and stumbled across this old A20 crash site. The location of this site is well known and the reason he sent me the pictures was we had David Tallciet A20 in the hangar
