Maurice B. Thibert, 370th FG or 474th FG
Dirk,
1Lt George C.Knox,Jr of 474 FG was the pilot of 42-104319 and became a pow when his plane crashed in France.
I don't have much details about the other possible planes, but for 370 FG I found :
2Lt. Herbert Forman 401 FS killed in action
1Lt. Herbert Schultz became a pow
1Lt. Maurice B.Thibert 402 FS killed in action
In the Nara archives they have a German confiscated document about a P38 which crashed that day at Kortenberg (AV989/44) and another document about a similar plane which crashed at Steenokkerzeel.
Best regards
Luc
