Gopod point, may not have been a US B24 - worth a look.

Since negative results are still results (!) - 178 Squadron RAF also flew Liberators in this theatre; I checked the ORBs and on 15/16 August 1944, their a/c were operating at night and all 6 sorties (3 in support of warsaw Uprising, 3 nickelling S France) returned successfully in the early hours of 16th.
