EDIT: It's hard to tell what the black 'smudges' in the background are - boats? .... landing craft? .... other shot down -323's???
Here's a link to the site .... unfortunately, my Chinese is a little rusty. |
I just stumbled across this
eBay listing of a guy selling prints of the above photo. His description of the item, for what it's worth, is
""A heavily armed six-engine ME-323 being shot down off Cape Corse, Corsica, by a B-26 Marauder of the Air Force."
US AAF Description
...heavily armed?
It
could be a
Waffentrager, but I have my doubts.
