This photo shows damaged rudder and verticle fin being inspected by part of the fortunate crew. Tail gunner, S/Sgt. Michael Fenchek, New Castle, Pa., is standing over tail position; T/Sgt. Raymond Bisson, Barre, Vt., radio operator; and S/Sgt. Gladyes Wallace, Alameda, Calif., waist gunner stand on the ground. Other Forts's horizontal stabilizer crashed into this plane's tail.
