B-24J - A&G Fish Shoppe - 458th Bomb Group - Emergency Landing - Belgium - 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.
