B-24 with engine fire

Air-to-air view looking down at B-24 KK320/V with smoke issuing from port inner engine from which the propeller is missing. Below is Panzano Bagni coastline and Monfalcone docks with smoke and explosions. The entrance to the Canale Navigabile is just at top centre and a landing strip is also visible. In the bottom right hand corner the partially-sunken M/V Ausonia can be seen on its side.
