My father Caesar LaMonaca was a Navigator and Waist Gunner. He was onboard during the mid-air collision that took most of the left wing. Relating that the co-pilot grabbed the automatic pilot by accident and took plane out of spin. It was a three plane collision, and the incident was evidently written up in the Stars and Stripes. Both a British crew, and German crew died after the collision.

This plane would have been a part of the 96th, 337th Bomb Squadron, in Snetterton Heath.
