A Ninth Air Force Marauder station, England- Six Marauders of the Ninth Air Force are shown here winging home after pounding the Nazi airdrome at Leeuwarden, Holland recently. [a censor has omitted the following sentence] <<The force of approximately 100 Marauders loosed over 70 tons of bombs.>> A preliminary assessment indicates that the B-26s hit 11 buildings, 26 aircraft shelters, one large hangar, a fuel dump, and the concrete runways and landing field. The flight of Marauders, having bombed, are closing bomb bay doors.' Handwritten caption on reverse: '131577 AN-Y, 131594 FW-F.' The aircraft in the top right hand corner is not AN-Y as the handwritten caption suggests, but it's 131679 FW-K, also an aircraft of the 387th BG. Roger Freeman Collection

I studied this photograph and could not recognize the second aircraft in the picture as being AN-Y" (of the 386th BG). In fact this other aircraft is FW-K, also of the 387th BG. This is in accordance with the mission details provided by a relative of a crew member on FW-F and the info found on www dot B26 dot com backs this up as well. FW-K was aircraft 41-31679 at that time.
