Fliers all over the world, Allies and enemy alike are paying tribute to the almost incredible stamina possessed by the fighting planes turned out by men and women of America. Every day on some far-flung battlefront, shattered and torn U.S.-built planes are returning to their base after combat missions, landing their crews in safety after flights that even the most optimistic of aeronautical engineers would brand "impossible". Much of the credit for these miraculous returns is due, too, to the capability of American pilots. From Rabaul to Berlin, the enemy is learning a new terror for the unbeatable combination -- American planes, and American pilots. This series of photos taken on various of the world's battlefronts gives pictorial evidence that Yank planes can take plenty of punishment and still return to their base. With its tail assembly almost completely shorn off in a raid on Palermo, this Flying Fortress flew 450 miles back to its base making a crash landing with its landing gear up. When the tail gunner was torn free of the plane with the loss of the tail turret, he pulled the rip cord of his parachute and apparently made a safe landing.Photo measures 7 x 9inches. Photo is dated 01-19-1944. PHOTO FRONT
