Re: Landing accident in WW2

Perhaps this one, although a take-off accident:

Consolidated PB4Y-1 (USN for B-24J) Liberator "38766" (ex-USAAF 44-40348) assigned to VB-106.
Swerved off runway on takeoff from NAB Eniwetok, South Pacific and crashed into parked aircraft while carrying nine 500-lb bombs destroying 106 naval aircraft. Date 9 August 1944.
Nine killed, 2 injured.

Among destroyed a/c: Hellcats, Avengers, Helldivers
