Description
English: a B-26 Marauder of the 22nd Bomb Group coming in for a belly landing due to landing gear failure.

More Backstory from [1]:

On 9 June 1942, B-26 Marauder, #40-1363, (Flying Cross" or "Rum Runner") of the 33rd Squadron, 22nd Bomb Group based at Woodstock, experienced undercarriage problems, and belly landed at Jacksons field, in New Guinea. They had just raided Japanese positions at Lae. Group C.O. Lt. Dwight Divine is standing on the aircraft on the left and pilot Pierre Powell is on the right. Divine took over the controls and made a perfect wheels up landing with both engines dead and props feathered. They were able to fly the B-26 back to their home base at Woodstock the next day with the engine bay tied up with wire. It was then flown to Tocumwal RAAF Air Depot for proper repairs, after which it was flown to Essendon, Melbourne where it is believed to have been used for administrive flights by (Col.?) Haskin. It is at this point it would have been named the "Rum Runner".
