Procida, Italy
Tumblr media
Procida is a charming Italian island located on the Gulf of Naples, known for its colourful buildings, picturesque streets and stunning views of the sea. The island has a rich history, having been settled by the Greeks, Romans, and other civilisations throughout the centuries. One of Procida's main attractions is its historic centre, which features narrow streets and alleys that wind through the island's hills.
Procida is home to several beautiful beaches and coves that offer visitors the opportunity to relax and soak up the Mediterranean sun. Some of the island's most popular beaches include Chiaiolella, Spiaggia del Postino, and Ciraccio. Procida is so visually stunning that it has been a filming location for over 30 movies, including 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.', 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' and 'The Postman'.

The crash of the Lady Be Good is fascinating to me. cursed ass plane
Tumblr media
This is a B-24 Liberator in desert paint much like the B-24D Liberator Lady Be Good.
On April 4, 1943, the Lady Be Good took off with 25 other B-24s from Soluch, Libya to bomb Naples, Italy. 24 returned - Lady Be Good did not.
In November 1958, an air survey by British geologists sighted a crashed WWII-era bomber from the air.

Four months later, a ground search party found the plane and identified her as a B-24 Liberator, the Lady Be Good.

The nine crewmembers aboard had bailed out when the plane ran low on fuel, and they all perished in the desert. Eight bodies have been discovered; the ninth has never been found.
Much of the Lady Be Good was salvaged, some for study, some for museum use, and others were reused in other planes. Most of these planes proceeded to have faults and crashed of their own. A C-47 in which a Lady Be Good radio was installed crashed in the Mediterranean; an de Havilland Otter with an armrest from Lady Be Good crashed into the Gulf of Sidra killing all ten aboard, and one of the few pieces that washed ashore from the wreck was the armrest; and a C-54 with several transmitters from Lady Be Good only avoided crashing by dumping all of its cargo overboard.
An episode of the original Twilight Zone that aired in 1960, the first of the second season named King Nine Will Not Return, is based on the Lady Be Good. It's the first episode where Rod Serling appears on screen as the narrator instead of just a voice (or getting poof'd in the first season finale).

Last but not least there's a painting I adore related to Lady Be Good:
