B-26B-50 42-9599 6 B/N 41 Gunga Din, flown by lLt Elbert O
Stephenson, was also hit by flak. Unlike Conrad's Marauder, it caught
fire, and flames were spotted escaping from its open bomb-bay by another
aircraft in the formation. The pilot managed to close the bomb-bay doors
and head south along the coast, enabling the crew to bale out. Seven
parachutes were seen before the bomber went down off Ladispoli.
