From: D Sheley

Caption: "B-29 from the 881st Bomb Squadron, 500th Bomb Group, 20th Air Force and flown by Capt. James Pearson.
Capt. Pearson flew this plane back from a mission to Tokyo with two engines out, both on the same side. After 17 hours of flying time he was landing at base when a runaway propeller cut the entire front of the fuselage off."
