Norma-J

In October 1943, during a raid on Munster, waist gunner George Rankin narrowly saved his crew when a German rocket came through the waist window. He quickly grabbed the spluttering rocket and threw it back out, where it exploded in flames below.

Later, pilot Bruce Riley skilfully landed the plane in a manner that could have been straight out of a Hollywood movie. With less than two minutes of fuel remaining, two non-functional engines, and no radio assistance, Riley managed to land safely in dense fog with almost no visibility.

Brave the deadly skies of occupied Europe!
