Here is a photograph of a B-26 Marauder "Flak Bait" in some serious

That's not "Flak Bait" and your version of the photo has been very
heavily retouched.

I don't download pictures to retouch and then upload them again.
I downloaded the picture from military.com's public domain files.
You see it as I downloaded it.

The timing of the mishap, the engine coming off and someone taking
the photo all the same time is what I thought made the picture unique.

I didn't say that you'd retouched it. I was pointing out that the photo
was heavily retouched and doesn't depict Flak Bait. If you compare the
photos, you can see that the engine has been moved closer to the rest of
the airplane, among other things.

Flak Bait resides at the Smithsonian.
