US Twin Engine crash Suffolk 1945

Hi,

A needle in the haystack maybe.

In January 1945 a member of 186 Squadron recorded that a twin engine US bomber crashed a few miles from RAF Stradishall killing all on board. The Stradishall Station Records Books makes no mention of this and I am having issues trying to I.D the aircraft and Group. Obviously, it could be a RAF aircraft but I was under the impression all twins engine bombers were on the continent? Perhaps it could have been a training aircraft.

Any pointers welcome.

Chaz
