Wow, how could you tell that was a PBJ? Not much to go on (except for what was probably written on the back of the picture).

I was going to say I thought it was a Bristol Beaufighter, but then I saw your caption at the bottom.

Is there a story as to what caused its demise?

Cheers,

David

Jack,
I am not aware of any VMB squadron PBJs assigned or "crashing" on Bouganville. Do you have any details on this particular PBJ, such as what VMB squadron she was assigned to?
Thanks, Dave

No clue just parroting the NA caption.
Possibly a transiate a/c?
