BRISBANE "BOMBED"
BY THE ORANGE BOMBER
BRISBANE, QLD
IN AUSTRALIA DURING WWII

All his life James Teel, a retired Police Sergeant/Bomb Technician from Oklahoma, USA was told the story of his uncle Ottis A. Teel being involved in an accident where a USAAF bomber accidentally dropped a load of oranges on the city of Brisbane in south east Queensland.

Does anyone know any more details of this incident?

Date, Aircraft type and Serial No?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I'd like to thank James Teel for his assistance with this web page.
