Hi Frankie,
Thanks for the posting, this is the site I got the info.from
http://www.b26.com/historian/chester_klier/022.htm which seems to give a positive id on the ditching. I would have thought the distinctive tail markings of the 387th would have been seen, however none of the sites I can find on the 387th confirms the loss. Perhaps the ditched aircraft was from another group,
Regards
