Plane Wreckage
Several bodies went unidentifiable after the war was over. For example, this mystery pilot was left unknown but clearly suffered. His fiery fate came to fruition when his plane was attacked and brought down by nonstop gunfire. It uncertain whether this was a German or American pilot, but the disheveled and torn remains show the extent of the burning.
Tracer Targets
Tracers were a huge part of winning the war, but not many people know about their existence. These bullets were equipped with illuminating qualities. These bright lights were meant to assist the pilot in determining if the proposed target was actually hit or not. However clever, they were often inaccurate. If only one tracer hit the given target, about 80% of the normal bullets would fly by.
