All-American has just finished her run. Her bomb bays are empty, and Messerschmitts are right on her tail.

One of them comes in for a pass, but it's too close.

The Bf-109 flies straight through the aft section of the bomber and is gone.
The rear fuselage is split open by a long gash. One stabilizer is simply gone.
In what’s left of the tail, the gunner stays strapped in, gripping bare structure as freezing wind tears through the aircraft at 20,000 feet over the open desert.

There is no friendly ground below, and a long stretch of water is still ahead.
And decades later, what actually happened in the sky that day would never quite settle.
