Re: 409th Bomb Group / June 24, 1944
I doubt if an emergency landing would appear in a loss list other from not repairable at all?
Also, no accident report (as we know them) would have been filed, because on an operational mission.
Therefore only details would be in a Group/Squadron report of that day/month. There used to be a dedicated website about 409th BG with many details, but it seems to have moved to the web archives or vanished at worst...
(9th AF had MB missions to fuel dumps in France on 24 June 1944. Mentioned Salzmann, though not involved in emergency landing, may be identified as 1st Lt Eugene H. Salzmann, 1922-2001)
