Mission History
After a bombing mission against Hollandia, this bomber landed during the height of confusion during
the Black Sunday emergency landings at Saidor Airfield. On landing, this A-20 plowed through
the burning wreckage of a previous crash and came to rest
against an embankment. The crew did not suffer injury in the landing, but the aircraft
was written off.
