Hi Alain 57,
The Tagesbericht for 4/10-1943 of the KTB of Kommadostab Militärbefehlshaber in Belgien und Nordfrankreich (RW36-5 p.488) mentions : (free translation)
16h40 An American Liberator bomber shot down near Coxyde. 6 members of the crew taken prisoner. Plane destroyed by fire.
During the evening emergency landing of a flak-damaged burning Liberator-bomber on Coxyde airfield. 6 Crewmembers taken prisoner.

Best regards

Luc
