Apparently that bomb missed the wing. According to one of the photos below, the incident appears to have taken place over Berlin in 1944. A number of sites claim May 1944. A photo below says the negative was received July 11, 1944 but that doesn't mean the photo was taken on 7/10 - 7/11.

I went through the 3th AF diary for the period 21 June-11 July 44 and found only one mission to Berlin. That was June 21.

"456 of 496 B-17s attack Berlin; 12 other hit targets of opportunity; they claim 16-20-19 Luftwaffe aircraft; 16 B-17s are lost and 216 damaged; 1 airman is KIA, 10 WIA and 148 MIA; escort is provided by 99 P-38s, 95 P-47s and 73 P-51s; they claim 4-0-3 Luftwaffe aircraft; 1 fighter is lost."

I also looked and there wasn't another one until August 1944.

Apparently the image was printed in the Sept 1944 issue of the Army Air Corps confidential Impact magazine

I did a quick search but couldn't find a free scan of it.
