When I came back from a sortie with B26s, I couldnīt end my sortie due to the following:
I lost a drone and the remaining drone had lost the left engine. When I landed my unharmed B26 I wasnīt able to end the sortie as my left engine was running and kept my plane rolling.
Even when I shut down the engines the left one was still running and didnīt stop.
So I had to bail out..... on my own fieldīs runway.

I suppose you mean your left engine was running and throttled up? Is it possible that you hit the keyboard command to control only the right engine?
I used to do this when I started out and was trying to jump from plane to plane in gun positions.

SHFT E 2
-
But isnīt E the command to shut down BOTH engines?
When I hit E the engine kept running on idle and the plane still moved, so it said "You must be stopped to end sortie".
-
E starts or shuts down whichever engine/s you are controlling, which by default is all/both of them.
If you press shift-1 you get individual control of just that engine, shift-2 for engine 2 etc. I suspect you may have selected one of the engines during flight, meaning you are only controlling that engine. if it happens again, press shift-E and you will have control of all the engines again.

And thanks for the kill BTW... :D

Since you had just started playing it's likely that the cause was pilot error.

If it is engine #1 that is is broken, shift-E will not properly work, you have to shut down engine #2 by shift-2 E. This is not limited to the B-26.

I did not know that :)

Thanks for your answers.
I have never used the shift E command before as I didnīt know it before.
In that special incident I was on the runway with the remaining drone at the end of it behind me. I wanted to end the sortie just by clicking End Sortie, but as I was still rolling it said I canīt.
So I pressed E to shut down the engines but it didnīt work.
Plus I donīt think that I accidently hit shift + E in flight.

Clara and her fication demands I state that the correct command to select all engines is CTRL E .
