On top of fighting a war they had to deal with volcanoes!
Interesting to note the external wing bomb racks.

Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

Spettabili amici, scusatemi se vi scrivo in italiano. Quello che si vede è uno degli aerei posteggiati presso l'aereoporto alleato di Terzigno, area a S.E. del Vesuvio, ditrutti dalle ceneri del Vesuvio durante l'eruzione del Marzo/Aprile 1944.
Complimenti per il favoloso archivio.
Saluti, Vincenzo Marasco.
