According to the 467th BG website, 41-29369 was lost en-route over Scotland due to structural failure in flight.

Where is located this airfield ? Someone get an idea ?

JPM: Assuming this picture was taken at their home base before the re-deployment, this photo was taken at RAF Rackheath (UK) where the 467th BG was stationed from late '43 thru the end of hostilities in May '45.

It took a while, but the answer was staring me right in the face. On the largest file, you can just make out the serial number: 42-50414. "Gaw'Gia Peach" was a B-24H assigned to the 831st Bomb Squadron, 485th BG. On 10 August 1944 she crashed 15 miles south of Cerignola. Lib's weren't exactly the best design for a forced landing - and were particularly deadly when it came to ditching. I think this photo is connected to another in this stream which mentions "4 out of 10" survivors... www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8092102382/in/set-721...
