That's a holy sh*t bit of video. What a sad loss. Thank you for your post Bex. Like he said the landing begins at 2:44...

The video is grainy, but the nose doesn't appear to be the standard "factory" C-87 nose..could've been done at a depot in the ETO maybe.

Interesting B-24 WW II video indeed!

p.s Didn't the same thing happened to lots of B-24s & B-17s that were also forced to land in Sweden??
