Hi "the330thbg",
The TBM picture came from Hill Goodspeed at the NM of NA in P'cola. He only knew who was flying the plane and the pilot's unit. The spectulation was that the a/c received flak damage. However, it looks more like the TBM flew into another plane's prop. But, this is only a theory.

That is amazing. He was in the 549th. He flew 50 missions between February 20th, 1944 through April 16th of 1945.
