Max,

This link has some more information. Search for "5942".

http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1942_1.html

42- 5942 (388th BG, 563rd BS, "Sky Shy/Wenatchee Special") shot down by Hptm Werner Schroer in Bf 109G-6 of JG 27/II Stab near Ulm, Germany Sep 6, 1943, Stuttgart, Germany. MACR 3121.
1 KIA, 1 died of injuries, 8 POW.

This link on Schroer would seem to have 42-5942 as his 86th plane shot down, E of Geislingen at 11:08.
