On August 1, 1943, 178 Liberators made a famous low-level bombing raid on the oil refineries at Ploesti, Rumania. This scene shows John R. "Killer" Kane's B-24 named "Hail Columbia" and another Pyramidier B-24 "The Squaw" making their attack through the thick smoke over the target. These B-24s have a cluster of 50-caliber machine guns mounted in their nose which clears a swath before them.
