Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber “Brief” is hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashes over Koror (WW2)
A United States Army 7th Air Force Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber is hit by anti-aircraft fire over Koror, Palau during World War II. Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber nicknamed "Brief" (Serial Number 44-42058) is seen in flight in aerial view from an aircraft above and ahead of it. Bombs being dropped from nearby Allied aircraft are visible in the same view. Suddenly, the B-24 "Brief" is hit from below by anti-aircraft fire, between the #2 engine and the fuselage (though at first glance it appears, incorrectly, that an Allied bomb hits the wing from above in a friendly-fire accident). The wing buckles upward. Flames engulf the doomed bomber. Aerial view showing fuselage falling in a flat spiral over Koror until it crashed. Aerial view of the mountains, military installations and roads in Koror Island. Smoke rises from various parts of the island.
