And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

An 18th Fighter Group P-40M that suffered a landing mishap in the Solomon Islands, 1943
The prop blades are bent as is the wingtip. Did the left landing gear collapse on landing causing it to leave the runway? I would guess this aircraft was cannibalized for parts to keep the others flying. Al_in_Ottawa
Doesn't look like a crash landing. Just shoved to the side of the base.
