Keith L. Frost (O-807831) from Lisbon, Ohio.

445th BG had no mission on 10 Oct 1944?

Keith L Frost did have a crash landing (in England) on 10 November 1944.

See Herbert Rudh's story "A Glider It Was Not" on page 9 of 20 here:

Note: Rudh does say he was flying with a "new" crew, but it is not totally clear if he means a "new" crew (to him as his regular crew was lost) or a new crew in the squadron.

B-24 "453" likely to have been B-24J 42-50453 which was with 445BG/701BS. This a/c had a mid-air with another B-24 over E. France two months later (11 Dec 44) and crashed (9 KIA, MACR 11337).
