We made an emergency landing ata fighter field of Coblenz [sic] and left the ship there. We took a truck back through Germany & France and picked up a 1st Division Ship # 506 and flew it back to England leaving it at its base. (Picked up this ship at Lil, France) ... Picture is of 777 with 2 Inboard engines feathered with 3 of my crew members sitting on the ground in front of ship. I understand the 2 engines were repaired and the ship was flown back to the States as after that I never saw it on our base.'
