الوصفThe Sandman a B-24 Liberator, piloted by Robert Sternfels.jpg
English: ;Captions and Titles from Published Works
2003: One of the most famous images of World War II shows The Sandman, piloted by Robert Sternfels, as it emerges from a pall of smoke during the TIDALWAVE mission.[1]
2002: The Sandman barely clears the stacks of the Astra Romana refinery.[2]
1944 (unreversed):Note 1 HITLERS NO. [sic] 1 oil source, Ploesti, Rumania, was bombed Aug. 1, 1943, by a large force (177) of B-24s which came in at smokestack level, braved oil and bombs exploding close beneath them to hit refineries, tanks, cracking plants. 53 aircraft and 660 air crewmen were lost.[3]
This is one of a series of photos that Joswick took from an aircraft ahead of the Sandman, e.g., Stout shows "Another view of The Sandman as Robert Sternfels brings it clear of the target."[1]
Note 1: As with most versions of this image, the current and previous Wikipedia Commons versions are reversed, as a differing description based on Sternfels' memoir[5] states (bold font added):
Robert Sternfels' B-24D, Sandman, pulling away from Astra Romana just clearing the triple stacks having lifted his starboard wing to avoid the [sic] stack. (The attached pic [sic] is shown in reverse of the actual position of the A/C.)[6]
