Re: B-26 - 10 Feb 1945 - Dremmen, Germany

42-96261 actually returned to base but two men had bailed out.

"42-107607" (not 42-107609) appears to be the plane, MACR is 12196. The pilot and navigator made it to American lines.
The tail gunner drowned in the Roer River, 3 others captured. The target was Horrem (not Heinsberg as I first indicated).
