Narrative:
Upon crosswind landing in esc we elected to go around due to inadequate remaining runway for a normal after touchdown rollout. After our go around at esc, airport personnel advised us that our right main gear wheel and brake assembly had separated from the landing gear strut. This was confirmed by a right main intransit light. We decided to go on to imt to attempt a controled belly landing. We circled the imt airport to burn off fuel and give public safety time to prepare for our arrival. After 1 practice approach, we came in for the final attempt with all emergency checklist items complied with. However, we elected to feather the propellers to reduce engine damage just prior to touchdown. A successful landing was accomplished with minimum aircraft and crew damage.
