A&G Fish Shoppe of the 458th Bomb Group in Belgium after an emergency landing, 18 March 1945. The aircraft had taken three direct hits over Berlin, causing it to lose electrical and hydraulic power as well as the #3 engine.
The engine threw its prop on the return flight, and engine #2 shut down shortly later. On final approach to a small dirt airfield in Allied-occupied Belgium the #4 engine also quit, but the plane made it to the ground safely with less than 50 gallons of fuel remaining.
