These photos from James McLean show the aircraft and its crew immediately after the belly landing. The following information comes from James McLean:
"'Angel of Mercy,' #982, belly landed on April 19, 1945 at Fano, Italy, base for the 310th Bombardment Group after a mission to bomb the Rovereto RR Bridge.
It was piloted by William McMillan, co-pilot Walter McLean (my older brother).
The tail gunner A.S. Hatfield was wounded. McMillan received a DFC for bringing
the ship home. Unfortunately McMillan and McLean were killed on June 9 while
shooting night landings in preparation for flying home. On the right is a picture
of the crew after the belly landing - minus the tail gunner. Angel crew l to r: Gunner R. E. Wilson or K. G. Mueller,
bombardier W. W. Graham, pilot William McMillan, co-pilot Walter McLean, kneeling Gunner R. E. Wilson or K. G. Mueller.
Not pictured- tail-gunner A.S. Hatfield (injured)."
