Fort log has this on the plane:
"Delivered Long Beach 23/9/43; Walla Walla 9/11/43; Assigned 401BG Deenethorpe 26/10/43; transferred 511BS/351BG [DS-H] Polebrook 18/11/43; 16m Missing in Action Ashersleben 22/2/44 with
John Pugh, Co-pilot: Bob Hart, Navigator: Bill Schmitz, Bombardier: Rich Gilbert, Flight engineer/top turret gunner: Ralph Broide, Radio Operator: John Seuer, Ball turret gunner: Isaac Guest, Waist gunner: Nick Mustacchia, Waist gunner: Adam Quinn,Tail gunner: Carter Gibson (10 Prisoner of War); shot down by enemy aircraft, crash landed Bernburg area, Ger; Missing Air Crew Report 2656. BELLE OF THE BALL."
Note the MACR has a last seen location near Bernburg but really does not state where it crash-landed. The MACR is incomplete. All the crew were POWs and all survived the war. Because all survived, probably no post-war questionnaires were mailed to the survivors. (I.E., nobody was missing.) The MACR has no statements from the crew.
