This
ship was badly damaged by flak on the 21 January 1944
mission to the Orvieto Railroad bridge. The electrical
and hydraulic system were shot out and the right
prop had "run away". The pilot F/O Elwin C.
"Skeets" Goodenough nursed the aircraft back
to Decimo, but was unable to get the landing gear down
or the bomb by doors closed. He expertly belly landed
the aircraft on the airfield.
